Up to 5th (4th at the very best) but at least into the Big Sky tournament would be an achievable goal I think. If they can play to that level and be competitive, then they are making the best of this year. I don't think we will see any more 28-point games like against Utah Valley last year, which was an absolute low-point. I expect to see improvement as they go.

Seventh can give them some motivation. But I bet these girls have nearly as much athletic talent as most of the teams in the Big Sky. Like Bobcat4Ever said, 4th or 5th is very attainable. And I bet that we'll shock one big time team along the way.
