Major disappointment in our eyes and probably the players, but not the coaching staff. It's a process, and Hurley is working through it. Honestly, I see us as a true bubble team, and the loss to arizona will actually hurt down the road. The AAC will be tougher than anyone expected. Houston/Cincy will be tougher than the Arizona team we just lost to. We seem to have UCF's number, but they are not a sleeper team. Theres a stretch in Feb with @ Memphis/Houston/@ SMU/Cincy...will be our toughest four game stretch of the season - not only with the level of competition, but travel (note: there is a week between Houston and @ SMU). My guess is 19-10/20-9...true bubble team/outside looking in. Losing to anyone not named Houston/Cincy/UCF will be a killer.

Again, if we can say we are in the second weekend of the tourney next year, and spending the majority of our time in the top 25 for the foreseeable future, this year's "disappointing" record will be all part of the process - changing the culture is more important than winning this year for long term success.
