[QUOTE="illiniapolis, post: 1607945, member: 747958"] It's the tournament, no team has better odds than the field. I would consider this season a failure if we miss the elite 8, and disappointing if we miss the final 4. I've been going back and forth on how excited I should be between complete enthusiasm and utter despair at an early exit. I'm a huge pessimist so I'm not the best person to ask, but I think we have a not insignificant chance of a 2nd round or s16 loss. I'm trying to prepare myself in case that happens but I know it'll be crushing no matter what. I'm constantly worried about Oklahoma state, a team with almost as many Q1 wins, another player of the year candidate, a solid zone D, and that just beat Baylor. [/QUOTE]
