They have a chance this year, but a lot of things have to go right. Thompson has to match expectations, Doyle needs to be his solid backup. A couple of the freshman need to step up and contribute some. I like Brandon Lee, he was a solid pickup. He can give the Cats a backup PG for the first time ever and I think he is a good sleeper because he was on a stacked Peoria Central team as well as playing 2nd banana to Shaun Livingston. Not only do they need that to happen, but they need to gel and overcome no Thompson early. I wouldn't be surprised if they fall flat on their faces this year. They could also live up to potential a year ahead of schedule and make the tourney. However, when all is said and done the Cats will probably be in the NIT (which in it's own is a victory, lol) and hopefully the tourney next year.
