By recent standards this year has been drama free.

Well there is the whole Ollie thing.

But given the APR fiasco, the Boatright saga, JC being in and out of the hospital, the AD being canned and AO's dad and ......

It's nice that the focus is pretty much on the court.

Please don't jinx us. The last thing we need is another player spitting in a girl's face.

You mean through two games?

I'd add to that this year has been one of the most enjoyable (maybe the most enjoyable) when we haven't won a NC. So little was expected of this team, so much pressure on Ollie to perform, and regardless of whether the team is a legit top 25 and wins like it, or whether they struggle, it's a great group of guys who are super easy to root for. It's been fantastic to see Ollie making the most out of the genetic makeup of the team (meaning no big shot blockers and a guard-centric offense).

I've totally enjoyed watching the guys go out and give maximum effort and the camaraderie and positive chemistry is obvious for all to see. The only "drama" left is "when does the AD make Ollie a permanent offer"... and that's the kind of drama we all can live with and appreciate...

I would much rather read this post in February, after Ollie has already locked up his contract and the team is still doing well in BE play, instead of Nov 16th. You're just asking for the basketball Gods to go HAM on us now with this post.

I repeat, Through two games?

We've had a great start to the season, emphasis on start.

Enjoy the ride but don't expect there aren't going to be bumps along the way.

We were 2-0 last year too. Yeah, it looks like this season's gonna be a lot different but jeez, talk about counting your chickens.

Oh my god...we are so doomed now...

What a season. It went by so fast. Felt like we played like 2 games. My only regret is i was unable to get to a game. With an undefeated season WM has to sign Coach Ollie

Very funny. But, yes, though two whole games.

So far, there hasn't been a litany of off court distractions, heck, it's been pretty darn pleasant. Almost forgot what that felt like.
