Let's win a first round game before worrying about the second round opponent.

I say bring UCLA. Poetic justice to beat them
I'm a year they should be a final four. You hit us, we hit you harder. That's how we roll in University Park (not that I live there).

Lets worry about winning or who we play after we get there. IMHO getting there with this 7 man team with Jank and sanctions shows sustainability.

Getting to NCAA Tournament with 6+1 would be a minor miracle. I'm not betting against them but seriously to thread that needle by avoiding foul trouble and significant injuries isn't going to be easy. I don't doubt the talent of the starting 5 though

In the past we were a lot more fragile with Nic. This team has a better chance to finish stronger than last year because of it.

That said, we did look tired last game.

I actually think we have a decent shot at 4 teams. While the conference as a whole is down, that will allow the upper echelon teams to get a bunch of wins and then beat each other for solid wins.
