Basketball Watermark

As of this writing, the Texas basketball team is in a pretty good groove. We’ve won 6 of the past 8 against solid competition and just beat OU in Norman in a gritty win to get comfortably out of the conversation of, "will we make the tournament?" and "what realistic expectations should we have?," to what seed between 3-6 are we looking at.

The message boards are still pretty polarizing. Some people are clearly not optimistic and are not on board with Chris Beard and his brand of basketball. But I think most of the fan base, as evidenced by a rejuvenated home crowd, are cautiously optimistic this year. Andrew Jones is having a season to come back for, Timmy Allen is looking like the JYD everybody in the BIG XII wishes was on their team, and people from Ramey to Carr to Bishop, etc. are giving us reasons to sing their praises after each game.

We all know this. We read the same shit. This post is to take the temperature of the posters. What do we feel, right now, will happen for the rest of this season? Post your predictions.

Mine? I say we go 3 of 5 in our remaining games, make it to the semi-finals of the BIG XII tourney, secure a 4 seed, and make it to the Sweet 16 with a lean towards elite 8 vs. early exit. I think Beard is the guy and we’re building something. Please let it be so.
