But we would be just as happy for them to get out the first round.

No ****. Baby steps.

There isn't a coach or player in the entire city of Cincinnati that understands the pressure of March Madness. A realistic goal would be to win 2 games.

Newsflash- there isn't a player on the Wichita State team that's been any further than Cincinnati in the tournament.

When Wichita made the final four there wasn't a player or coach on the team that had been further than these UC players have been.

UC makes the tournament every year. They get the pressure. UC hasn't made the sweet 16 in several years, but quite honestly none of those UC teams were really top 16 caliber teams. This is Mick Cronin's first top 20 kenpom team (a ton have hovered between 20-40). This team is #4 kenpom. It's just a different level of team that will be held to a different standard. The players know what march is about, now they have a team that should be able to make a run. Time to take care of business.

Not that it matters, but WSU made the Sweet 16 in 2015 .. Several of the seniors were on that team. (Brown, Morris, Nurger, Kelly)
