I've had this team pegged as a Sweet 16 or Round of 32 team depending on the draw. If if Mara keeps improving, this team has real potential to make a run.

Biggest thing will hinge on MaraтАЩs conditioning and CroninтАЩs willingness to run the offense through him. HeтАЩs too much of a mismatch for us to not run back doors and off ball screens waiting for an easy pass from him.
Current starting line up with Bilodeau at the 5 is undersized and overmatched.
Agree ЁЯТп. Bilo at the 5 needs to be put in the archives. Bilo and Mara or Bilo and Kyle, when Mara needs a break. Mara really opens up the offense and gives us great ball movement with his passing skills.
probably not, but I think if he keeps playing this well, Elite 8 could be a reasonable expectation. Failing to make the sweet 16 would certainly be a disappointment if he keeps playing the way he is. I don't have a huge problem with the roster construction like other. But the problem is everyone is knew. It was almost a total line change, so the team is new to one another and should only improve as they learn to play together.
I do believe the team is finding their identity, both on defense and offense. The offensive flow seems much better overall, and I think Cronin is giving the players more leeway to make a few mistakes. I think they are all playing with more freedom and it is having a positive impact.

Are you thinking Final 4 is a real possibility if Mara becomes consistently a dominant player?

Mara also doesn't really have to jump to get rebounds and block shots. :-)
Glad he stayed this season and hope he comes back for his junior year as well.
