If Lee is able to play 20 minutes a game we will make the elite 8. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Just kidding, I do believe she is enough of a difference maker that we could make a very deep run if she can play.

I agree. However, even if she is able to play extensive minutes, we also have to consider the officiating. The refs are often inconsistent in the NCAA tournament with some really weird styles of officiating. We could get a crew of refs that call touch fouls on Lee that keep her out of the game even if she is able to play.

Satisfied or could say was still a good season? I think they’re probably different things. This team came into the season with thoughts and expectations of winning the conference. When or if you do that I think there’s expectations of a really deep tournament run and I think in that scenario it means final 4.
I can eat a very tender and delicious piece of steak and agree it’s a very good steak, but it wouldn’t be satisfying. So that’s really what I would say is “satisfying”, a final 4. But if they make the sweet 16 or elite 8 I would still think that’s a good season but again wouldn’t necessarily be “satisfying”.

true happiness only comes with a natty.
I just looked at Ole Miss’s record and schedule. I don’t see how they can be considered a 4 seed. Their record is 20-10 and they finished 7th in SEC. Played some good teams in non-con but didn’t beat any of them.

it's an odd pick, agreed.

Yeah that Ole Miss at 4 is a head scratcher. Baylor is hard to stomach as well. We beat TCU by 9 without Lee, they've had 3 cracks at TCU and lost them all. If they take into account how much better we are with a healthy Lee we'd be a top 16 seed. But, I'm expecting us to be on the 5 line. Hopefully in Oxford.

Going to Lexington. Can’t take Fairfield for granted, as Kentucky can’t take Liberty for granted.
Would love to see us go up against USC.

Got to win the first two games. I want to see the Cats play in Spokane.
