Opinions regarding theupcoming season
I am sure most everyone expects a very good team.
What should be expected?
What would be a letdown versus expectations?
What would be a outstanding season?

Expected: Road wins, more consistent offense.
Letdown: less than conference finals, not making it out of the first weekend of NCAAs
Outstanding: reg season and conference champs, elite 8 or better.

Re: Opinions regarding theupcoming season
Yeah, those are my expectations. Stay somewhere around 25-50 in the rankings and make the tourney. Everything else is icing.

25 to 50? Smh
No offense but your expectations of everything smu are just sub par. We should expect to be ranked. We have and should expect to be top 15.

Top 15 might be the goal but not the expectation.

Top 25 should at a minimum be our expectation with this team.

Without Mudiay and only having Martin as a new player coming in at this point since the young man from VT is not eligible yet I do not know what to really expect but I am putting that as a goal not an expectation.

Re: Opinions regarding theupcoming season
Maroons, we are talking semantics a little here. As a fan, I expect (meaning "guess" or "think it most likely") we'll hang out in the Top 25 most if not all of the season. But I don't *expect* it meaning I won't be happy should we end up in the 50 range and still make the dance.
Now if I were playing on the team, I'd expect to win every game in both senses of the term. If you don't expect to win every meeting, why bother lacing 'em up?

Re: Opinions regarding theupcoming season
I know that everyone who posts on the BB page knows more about hoops than I. I think that SMU will have another good team. But I have to think that the presence of Yanick is a key, whether he starts or just gets a lot of time in the rotation. I went back and looked at the the Yanick specific threads and there has been nothing new for a couple of days.
Maybe I missed something. Is Yanick back? Surely coming back? What?

Expectations: compete right to the end of the season for a conference title, ranked 15-30 most of the year, make and win at least 1 NCAA tournament game.
Exceeding expectations: conference season and tournament champions', sweet 16 appearance.
Dream: 3 seed or better for NCAA tournament, enlighten 8 or better appearance.
