We've got our returning core of 6 players (assuming Thompson sticks around), at least 2 incoming freshmen, changes among the staff, and at least one hole (for now) at back-up point guard.
What are the reasonable upside expectations for the coming season? Mind you, I'm NOT asking what we HOPE for (e.g., a BIG championship or a NCAA Final Four appearance), or what we think an elite athletic program "ought" to be able to expect, but a realistic look at where we might be in a year from the starting point we're at now.
Mine? 23 regular season wins (12 in the BIG), a semifinals appearance in the BIG tourney, and an NCAA appearance (preferably with at least one win).
