The Panthers are looking to duplicate their Sweet Sixteen run of last year and while their out of conference resume isn’t that impressive, They have four returning starters from last year’s team and should put a scare into higher seeded teams in the early rounds this year. Not returning from last year’s team is Head Coach Bruce Pearl who is performing similar magic at Tennessee. Rob Jeter should have this Panther’s team focused on what they have to do and they are likely to win their first round game, no matter who they play.
