UMass is a decent team that will probably make tournament and Tulsa was a decent team. You can only play who is willing to play you .
I assure you this team is the real deal
yeah 5 senior starters, 3 who tested the NBA last year...they definitely have a nice experience base...they're not gonna go through the MWC undefeated...there's always one or two road games where they'll either be a little off or the team they're playing will be totally on...happens all the time in college...
thing with them is gonna be once they get to march:
1. will they get fucked with seeding...some years ago Wichita State was really fucking good, but they had to play a 1-8 game versus fucking Kentucky who was insanely underseeded…think that was the year kentucky went to the title game and lost...this is definitely something i'd be worried about...
2. will they be comfortable with being expected to win on that stage...
3. what's gonna happen when they get into one of those close games in the tourney? will they be able to step it up when it's gonna be rare for them to be challenged in the MWC..
gonna be interesting to watch for sure..
