Anything is possible. We've already swiped a win against one of the lead contenders. Win against FAU and I'll feel more confident in it, but until that time, I'm still waiting with bated breath. Also want to add, winning any conference tourney is a longshot for a lot of teams because of the very nature of one-and-done tournaments. On any given night the shots could not fall and you're done. It's not easy, that's why you don't typically see a single team utterly dominate the conference tournament every year. Gonzaga is a rarity and even they've had plenty of years having to deal with St. Mary's and others. History is littered with teams who dominated their conference in the regular season just to get upset in their conference tournament and be left out of the Big Dance.

Even winning the AAC looks doable in my eyes. I feel our early losses were just due to this being a new team that pretty much started from scratch. I feel we have found our rhythm. But I don't feel it's going to be a catwalk either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These upcoming few years might be some of the most exciting since our Big East days. Our potential resurgence couldn't come at a better time considering realignment.

History is littered with teams who dominated their conference in the regular season just to get upset in their conference tournament and be left out of the Big Dance. IF USF can finish in the top 4 of the conference, they will get a bye into the Quarterfinals. That means only having to win 3 games to make the NCAA tournament. While those will likely be 3 of the better teams in the conference, it is our most likely path to the Tourney. I think we go 9-4 down the stretch, finishing the regular season 20-9 (13-5). It's doubtful that will be good enough to finish in the top 4 given how bad the bottom 6 teams in the conference are. It certainly is nice to actually be considering these possibilities!
