and then what? We go 21-11 and are an 8 seed again like last year? Lose in the first round again? I’m glad you set your expectations so low but I thought this year would be different and we could win a few games in the tournament. If this past 2 weeks stretch is any indication we’re not even going to make the tournament.
I have been saying this for 2 years. That is the predominant view.
Do you really believe that anyone on here is settling and content with this team? Not me
I couldn’t disagree more. There is certainly no guarantees and Hurley may never get us to the championship but I think the team is trending in a positive enough direction to think there is a chance. Would you have only given Calhoun 4 years? Or did you know it would take him 13 years so you were ok with it?
See I think that is the standard we should have, and I do believe the majority have those standards, making the sweet 16 within 4-5 years shouldn’t be viewed as a miracle when mid majors with 1st year head coaches do it every year.
No but I felt it was time to step on some toes to get a reaction and I’m generally pleased with the reactions. Now I’m hoping this thread can be a slump buster.
I would actually prefer a 10-12 seed then an 8-9 seed. Just saying right now win 20 then see where we’re at. I think the win over Auburn could a long way so long as we get out of this slump.
The funniest part of this thread was that he called out people for being content with being good, and then about halfway through was the first one to say he'd settle for good from this team
Show it I never said that.
I agree on anything but a 8/9. Lol. Gives us a better chance to upset anyone. I'd think Gonzaga and a fully matured Auburn are the only teams that I do not want to face as potential 1 seeds.
Key word right now, pretty sure you have to win 20 before you win more. No where does it say content with being good.
Oh ok. I suppose lol
If getting to 20 wins is all you're asking for right now, you are by definition content with us simply being a good team
I’m going to guess your weren’t around at the time, because, and no disrespect, but this is the dumbest post of all time. He took a team that was worse than anything Hurley had, won the NIT in year 2 and went to the Elite 8 in year 4. Won the Big East in Year 4. Hurley has a long way to go to get into Calhoun’s shadow, never mind out of it.
Nope 20 wins “right now” is far different then saying you wanna win 20 games overall.
Funny, after the game, I wanted to begin a thread w/ this very title. Thanks DH.
Or it could put it all together and become a very dangerous team. Revisiting in a month is a good idea.
