Message: [QUOTE="navery12, post: 2451790, member: 6271"] I think there's reason to be optimistic about this season, and you can look at these games as positives. Under KO this team has been a notoriously slow starting team (both in season and in games). Around February-March the team gets in a groove and starts playing well. There's a multitude of reasons for this, and I think most fall back on KO. Waiting til halftime to make adjustments that everyone anticipated coming in. The constant roster turnover that leads to no chemistry coming in every fall. So why should we be positive? We're playing the same as we have early in the season just as past seasons, but thus far we've been able to pull out the win while looking bad in most games. Playing in the American is tough, and the non-conference becomes even more important with a weaker conference. We've made a habit out of digging ourselves into a hole, and needing a miraculous tourney run to have any chance to make the big dance. Thus far we've held serve, and pull out 1-2 wins over the next few weeks and we're looking decent heading into a period of the season where we've seen improvement over KO's tenure. Now the point of the constant roster turnover and slow starts every November under KO is the main reason I think we need to part ways after this season (regardless of results). In our current conference situation we can't afford to go through this every season, because relying on luck in close games to always go our way against mid-majors is not a good strategy. [/QUOTE]
