Gonna need to find at least 6 wins over the last 8 games of the regular season plus the conference tournament. That's a tall order, but it is do-able if they can play more often like Sunday and less often like Thursday.
I think 6-2 over the remaining schedule gives us a reasonable shot at the tournament.
I don't think 6-2 is a reasonable expectation though, but I'll believe it can happen until I don't.
This board is generally very negative, in my opinion unfairly so to this year's edition. If they collapse in the last 8 (like we've seen in recent years) then they should be fair game, but so far this team has played well relative to their potential and expectations.
It's a young team with good but not great talent that's playing well together. We've seen great improvement particularly from Jones, Keefe, and Angel and the team as a whole has improved over the course of the year.
If the team stays together for another year we should definitely expect a tournament team.
If this year's team makes it they would have exceeded expectations.
We still have a shot...
