If (and it's a big if), IF we were to get the #2 seed in the East and get this same bracket, it looks very favorable for a deep run.

This team reminds me a lot of the 04's. They played mediocre ball all year until February when everything just clicked. Green was substandard until February when he just took the team by the reins. Sort of what Cheese is doing.

No I don't think they have the defensive dominance inside but I think they could possibly be a final four team.

I mean, they are straight dominating opponents right now.

I'd be happy with a 3. We would need to win regular season conference and make the tournament finals or win it to get a 2 seed. But, I'm optimistic with the way they are playing. If they get a 4 or higher they'll be playing in Orlando.

The 04s won the coaches vs. cancer tourney in NY early on and that really put them on the map. They had ups and downs, but they showed earlier they could beat elite teams. This team still hasn't done that... they beat UK at home, but UK isn't really that good right now.

The 04s started out the 05-06 season 17-0 (and as ATX said, they won the Coaches vs. Cancer tourney, beating Syracuse and Wake, both ranked teams at the time). They played mediocre in February, losing 4 of 7 (each loss by 4 points), before getting it turned in March and winning out. Very few ranked teams in the SEC that year (UT was the only other one - and we lost twice to them).

If we win the regular season SEC championship we might pull a 2 seed.

We need to lock up a 2 or 3 seed and hope the bracket breaks favorably for us. Go Gators!!

I remember them turning it on in February. Must've been March.

I agree because a 2 and 3 are very similar as are 4 and 5.
