Curious what you guys think. We got a great draw but our team has obviously been incredibly hard to predict this year. I see it like this:
Lose in first round: All hell breaks loose, no hope for the future with unbelievable pressure on next year's team
Lose in 2nd round: more mild but still hell breaks loose
Lose in Sweet 16: Meh, decent turnaround, but not enough to get excited
Lose in Elite 8: Devastating loss but would feel encouraged in the long term relative to where I am now
Final Four and beyond: Would be absolutely over the moon
Making it to the 2nd weekend is huge because at least then you get a whole extra week to hope and get excited, and actually enjoy the tournament
