[QUOTE="Illini88, post: 1863781, member: 747758"] Women bow out in round 2. Men fall just short of final four. NCAAW seem to have a definite "tier structure" where the top 20 teams are a major step ahead of all the rest. With that in mind, see the women winning the first game and then bowing out. Can't see any scenario where they win beyond round 2 as they then run into the next "tier" - which is where I expect to see us in the next 1-2 years! NCAAM is the exact opposite. Anyone in the tourney can beat anyone else on a given day. Talent is amazing across all the teams. I think we'll win the first game. Beyond that, it depends on which team shows up. If the team we all know is there shows up, I see us losing in the regional finals/falling just short of the final four. If the team that shows up is the one that makes stupid mistakes and forgets how to shoot, we're out in round two. I think we'll make it to the second weekend as I have a ton of confidence that BU is working on the mental side of things with the team. He's shown an ability to adapt/change/grow and learn from when the team falls short. He's hard headed and driven once he locks onto a plan; BUT, not so rigid as to stick with the plan once it's proven to have limits. [/QUOTE]
