  1. I think every mid major coach believes the final 4 is doable after schools like WSU, Butler, Loyola, etc have done it. I think we may have had a legit shot at it with Rick's boys, however, we just got some really tough draws. Probably the best shot was the '11-'12 team because we still had Kwamain. We gave MSU all they wanted, and had we got by them who knows. Things have to break just right for a mid to do it, but first and foremost is the talent. I think if we can keep this group of FR together going forward and add in a few key pieces, a decent big man for one, it's a possibility. Ford's filled in all the slots now they just need the experience and the commitment.

  2. You could start a XC/T&F thread.

  3. At this point without seeing the freshmen play (and still not knowing what we have in guys like Hankton and Jacobs) it is hard to know the likelihood of that statement, but I do think we are really lined up for 2020-21 to be a big season (for the reasons you identified) where we are competing to win the A-10 and hopefully make some noise in March. So I agree, but will feel like I have better idea of what our future looks like (and the chances of 2021 being a Sweet 16 caliber team) come December.

  4. At the time period of White, Carawell, and Woods we were in CUSA and the Great Midwest. Both conferences were among the elite BB conferences. They could rival the Beast, ACC, and the Big 10. Even the A10 was a big time conference back then. I find it doubtful those type players would consider us today. With the exception of Gordon and JGood, we haven't seen any of the area's top talent wanting to stay at home. If we'd got any of the recent 4 stars, e.g. Cook, Tatum, Ramey, Snead et al stay here, we could be a Zaga, which we're gonna have to become to have a shot at keeping these kids at home.

  5. I was looking at it more individually and likely having an idea whether the freshmen and guys like Hankton/Jacobs can play by conference play. Obviously by the end of the season we will have an even better idea.

  7. yep, its best to a low seed and get the first round upset, gets much easier. Plus it helps when you're next opponents also had upsets Loyola had a #7 seed for S16 and a #9 seed for elite 8. But correct, unless you were an elite team, things have to fall your way.

  10. In only four games since being cleared to play Becher ranks third on the team in goals and third in points on the season.

  11. We spend probably 90% of the posts on this board talking about the men's basketball program. I don't see you questioning why we aren't giving men's sports equal treatment or why we aren't giving all sports equal treatment. Fact is that people are interested in different sports and there is nothing wrong with that. 05 cares about volleyball so he posts about that and he can do whatever he wants on here as long as he's following the board guidelines. Your post has a whiff of sexism in that you seem annoyed that 05 is posting about women's volleyball and are attacking him for it by using the straw man argument that if he is going to post about volleyball he needs to post about all women's sports.

  12. I would argue that the volleyball team is the fourth most high profile team in the athletic department, volleyball has no facilities disadvantage and it has been shown that you can succeed here. The volleyball team should be held to a much higher standard than the other programs you mentioned.

  15. Again, you can put recruit the A10 and finish top. Ford showed he’s good enough to do both. Chemistry is the only thing lacking

  16. Remind me again. The B in NBA stands for Beijing? Another reason to prefer the college game.
