Call me naive, call me stupid, whatever you want. I'm calling it now. This team will make the Elite 8. Now I know that might be a failure if we don't make the Final 4, but I'm confident that we can win 3 more games. This team is no worse than last year's team even without Fab. That was a team we all thought had a chance to make the Elite 8 if we hadn't had to face a Big East team in the 2nd (3rd) round.

I say bring it on. Let's get back to reality that we still have a top 20 team even without Fab in the middle. No we might not be NT contenders, but we're not losing first round either. THIS TEAM IS GOOD. Bring it on.
