Looking Ahead to Basketball

Sweet 16.
Speaking of basketball, I'm pretty sure we played in the Barstool Invitational last year and I remember watching it on TV. Anybody recall who aired it and if this year's games will be televised?

After baseball and football I’m a little gun shy, but we look to have stupid depth combined with adding a couple of shooters and another year in Jans’ system for most of the guys. I say sweet 16.
ETA: go in comfortably as a 3 or 4 seed.
Maybe it was from their Barstool app. For whatever reason I do not recall it being on tv.
Our goal every season should be to make the tournament. Basing a successful season on the Sweet 16 is idiotic. We have done that exactly 3 times in the program history.
So if we go to the tournament and exit the first weekend, you’re going to feel like that was successful? I know i will be pissed and disappointed if that happens, but I’ve been called worse than an idiot.
I think a comfortable tourney appearance where we aren't sweating the final few weeks of projections and selection Sunday would be the measurement for success. I don't want to say we have to make the Sweet 16 to call it successful but I'd like to see us at least win a game in the tourney.
Sweet 16. They have a real PG, a sniper from downtown, a bruiser, and a beast grabbing rebounds. Plus Jans is just a dog of a coach. They have everything to make a sweet 16 run.
Yes absolutely. We have made the tournament 12 times in 115 seasons. We have to have realistic expectations.
This board is about to have outstanding basketball coverage in a few days 
I joined a little earlier than expected. Thank you for the kind words though.This board is about to have outstanding basketball coverage in a few days
This year's team is loaded with apparently an influx of 3 point shooters. Plus we have one of the best coaches in the country. My wool might be thick, but I think this is the year to make some noise. I think Tolu will have a great year. I don't think he'll be getting triple teamed as much as he has been the last couple of years.
NCAA tourney win would do it for me. I’d be thrilled to make a sweet 16.
Make the tourney safely, i.e. not as a bubble team, and win at least one tourney game. Our last NCAAT win was Oregon in 2008. Been a while since we’ve even had the Stansbury patented disappointing second round loss.
It was BarstoolTV and BFW tweeted out a code for MSU fans which I’m sure everyone who saw the code used of course to watch for free. I anticipate him doing the same this year but ya never know
After what we have had to watch for the last decade I’ll be happy to get into the tournament. Just get in and anything can happen. I feel like I Havnt seen us win a tournament game in so so long. I’d be ecstatic to see us win one. Still mad about that upset against Liberty a few years ago

Finish in the top 4 of the SEC and get a double bye in the SECT. Make the Sweet 16. Both of those are attainable goals in my opinion.
My hope - SECT semis and sweet 16
expectation - students having to skip class for mid-week SEC games to get in line for a seat like I did back in the day
