We should be pretty good next year.  I'm thinking a 6 seed.

I like watching Marcus Foster play basketball so I'm excited.

I'm guessing an increased height next year will help.  But I may be a homer.  At least I am not a tuck...

I'm hoping that we can make something work with Westicles, Gipson, and Hurt in the lineup.  I think that may help our rebounding a bit.

Westicles's going to need to get stronger and hit the boards harder, though.

He also needs to hit the baskets and free throws harder...

Next year will be fun

I think so too. Better than this year. Its nice to return a guy who will likely be 1st team all Big 12.

Gip. Edwards. Westicles.

I could see any of those 3 honestly.

No. If next year is a repeat of this year I will be very disappointed. I don't think it will be.

[scottwildcat]

Guys we will be a top 3 big 12 team next year and go to the sweet 16z

I am personally hoping a big.   

[AndrewVonLintel]

I think we will have more fun but I think we will frequently wonder what in the hell happened to the good point guards we had for 6 years in a row.
Pullen, Clemente, Angel, 

There is a chance that we will be hoping Clent Stewart and Sprads could take over point for us next year.

I haven't seen enough of Edwards to know for sure though.

I think Nigel and Jevon are still a year or two away from being good.

I'm looking forward to a breakout season for tadowdaddy in '14-'15

[chum1]

I'm mostly looking forward to the incoming players.  This years worked out pretty damn well.  Will it happen again!?

[ksupamplemousse]

To have a significantly better season we need a couple of our players to make a pretty big leap in their 3pt%, Edwards needs to be at least a solid contributor, and we need one of the incoming bigs to be a legitimate Big XII starter. It's not like that's impossible, but it's also not a guarantee.

[fun muffin]

Westicles dunked on two Kentucky players at the same time.  That was nice.

One of Nigel or Jevon will have to step up.

Foster could play 1, I think, but that leaves no one at the 2.

I agree with all that. I tend to be an optimist.

Still, I will be disappointed with no improvement over this year. oscar returns his all league player, now go build around the best freshman in this program since Beasley.
