I think we would have to run the table (or come very close) to get that high. Not sure there is enough star power on the schedule even if we do very well.

I actually think we can be better than this...I am VERY high on any team with a senior Tony Campbell and Junior Jaaron Simmons. Those 2 alone make you a top tier team in the MAC. Add Jordan Dartis as another elite player and the many other pieces and the coaching staff and I think it could be special.

BUT...I've seen a lot of similar preseason expectations end in 10-8 seasons. So I'm going somewhere in between that level of disappointment and the true potential I see of a 25+ win top 25 caliber team.

Here we go...

MAC Tourney - CHAMPIONS
Postseason – Big Dance – 14 seed – (1-1)

I found it difficult to contain my enthusiasm.

NO!

Very few seeing losses (any) at home.

I haven't seen this much optimism since before the 2012-2013 season. Hope this one works out better.

Wouldn't it be wrong-way impressive for us to go 26-3 and win the MAC championship--but not be a single digit NCAA seed?
