I know that it feels like a bit of a pipe dream to talk about Final Four path given how the team has looked recently, but if that is the ultimate goal, we did end up in the region with by far the weakest 1 seed.

Yes Houston is tough as a 2 seed, but I think Iowa State is better than them and I wouldn’t have confidence going against Hurley either.

Combined with our 6 seed draw missing their star player, it’s as good of a draw as we could hope for once we blew our chance at a 2 seed path.
