I still have NO problem with my statement that expecting a sweet 16 was ludicrous. Just because Ou made it doesn't make the expectation less ludicrous. I picked it in my bracket so it's not like I didnt believe they could - I just don't think you can go into a season EXPECTING that. Honestly, that's rather stupid IMO.
I guess it kind of comes down to how you define "expectation". If you're talking in terms of absolutes, then yes it's kind of stupid to absolutely "expect" OU to make the Sweet 16. Outside the NBA factory in Lexington, KY, I don't think anyone can absolutely "expect" to make the Sweet 16. It really is hard to do, and bad luck, bad calls, bad draws, injuries, etc. can happen to anyone. KU and Duke the last few years, are all living proof of that.
However, if you're talking in terms of what you think a team can reasonably achieve, I don't think it's "stupid" to have an expectation that OU will make the Sweet 16 next season.
