From Alabama to Texas Tech, which top programs eliminated from the 2025 tournament underachieved, overachieved -- or landed somewhere in between?

Not saying I wouldn't welcome a PG xfr, but I think Dallin Hall is capable of

At these elite levels, Hall is an effective back up but not starter.

Not if BYU wants to take another step

TNT

I love Hall as he plays tough, but he is not a PG who often creates his own shot,

The best thing about Hall was his chemistry with Fous who is now gone.

Depends. As we see it takes time for chemistry to happen

BYU will likely have Sweet 16 talent level. But anything can happen in the

I think the "floor" in this context is just about expectations

True. I hope our seeding is a bit better next year, which should help.

IDK. To me, Sweet 16 is the goal. The goal this year was win one. So

The Goal should be Elite Eight next year

Archaea

Nonsense, the goal and assignment is to win the national title!

We made the Sweet 16 this year and are bringing in our best class ever next year

Ha. BYU has only had 3 Sweet 16 appearances in the last 50 years

TNT

Mar 31, 10:48am

It's TNT's fault because he wasn't positive. Archaea believes so it will be EE

Sweet 16 is not the goal next year.

Goal is to break into the final 4

The players have said their goal is the natty—I’m going with them.

Initial goal was win one then shifted to sweet 16 about halfway through the run.

We should probably see what the roster looks like before assigning a floor.

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 31, 10:50am

Hard to say as I think we have three players that have committed for next year

BYU Fan

Mar 31, 11:14am

We'll end up with a top 5-10 roster and two All-American candidates. Even better

Duke got bounced in the first round with Jabari 🤷‍♂️
