MU 5 seed in the Midwest (St. Louis) Region...
First Round (Chicago): (12) Kansas State - time to get reaquainted with Coach Huggins
Second Round (Chicago): (4) Maryland - No particular reason - a beatable team. No real good stories with any of the 4 seeds - could potentially place Tenessee here I suppose.
Sweet 16 (St. Louis): (1) Wisconsin - No further explaination needed. I'd love to be the ones to bounce them.
Elite 8 (St. Louis): (3) Pittsburgh - as much as I would like an All Big East Final Four, I'd be all too happy to beat these guys again.
Final Four: Georgetown - As part of the Big East dominated Final Four
Championship Game: UNC - Almost 30 years to the day in Atlanta we celebrate again.
I would be thrilled with one NCAA victory. If McNeal doesn't play...then I think getting that one win will be a nice achievement.
Next year remains the year (if everyone comes back) where I see a serious run to at least the Sweet 16 and anything less would be disappointing. This year, I can't say the same thing. They have meet my expectations and now it comes down to what kind of opponent we get and how are shooting is on Thursday / Friday.
Always a fun time of year.

We share quite similar sentiments. Next year we will be beasts, provided there are no injuries and stuff. I'm pretty sure DJ will stay atleast one more year, but man, it'd be sweet to have him and the resta the three amigos until they graduate.
The only way we will get very far in the NCAA tournament is if everyone is healthy and playing like they did on College Gameday.
There are no 5 seeds coming out of Chicago.
