In a tournament setting, anything can happen. A 3 seed can lose to a 14 seed. Assume nothing.

This was largely the point of my comment on the previous page. I think we tend to romanticize last year's team because this year's struggles are fresher in our minds. For all the flaws/limitations this year's roster has, last year's had its own and the Jays overcame them to make a run.
This year's team is different than last year's, but I don't think it's dramatically better or worse. All the things we liked about last year's team that this year's seems to lack came with drawbacks as well. It's largely just going to come down to how well the team plays (see UConn Pt. 1 vs. Pt. 2).

When all is said and done, I think that is gonna be the factor that determines how deep of a run we make. Then comes rebounding and turnovers.
