Quick someone go tweet at Seth Davis.

Bash him and tell him about how criminally underrated we are.

Welcome to the season folks. Today was the first stumble on a long road. Hopefully this wakes up the delusional crazies here that had us waltzing into the Final Four. That's not an impossible destination for this team but we will have to play very well to do it. When we don't play well we are very vulnerable.

I think the FF is completely impossible for this team. Haven't been to one in my lifetime, and I've seen plenty of better teams than this one. This is an ok team, but unless Carsen is going to be transcendent, the ceiling isn't particularly high. People were on here talking about this team having "scary depth" and there is no depth at all. Experience is the biggest thing the team has, and, well, that sure didn't mater today against a team that is by no means elite.

This would have to be a Brad Stevens team to make the FF.

Agree it's very unlikely. Not impossible though.

Personally, I think the ceiling for this team would be much higher if Carson would stop trying to appear transcendent...

Agree 100%. Still needs to learn good shots and bad shots.

Fair point, but I don't know how anyone can watch this team and not think that he is the only guy who can get them anywhere. The senior leaders are good players. Good ROLE players. Carsen is the only guy who can go beyond that.

I've seen similar or worse teams make it to the FF. We have to play well and catch some breaks though.
