Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4555541, member: 10435"] It's been a really tough regular season all around for everyone. The players who played, the players who were injured and either out for the season or for large parts of it, the coaches, the families of the players, and of course, we fans. I for one am very glad the post season is here. It's a time to start fresh, to begin again, to focus eventually on winning the last game we play this year, but in the process to take one game at a time and to make the next game the season's most important. That is actually true for both the BE and the NCAA because this year the league tourney will tell us a lot about where we are now and how far we might go and may very well impact the seedings and who we play and when. It may also give us a glimpse of Azzi coming back and how we will be as a team with her return. I'm just really glad it is here. I know there are a lot of naysayers and non-believers and it is clear that this season has been very difficult to get through and that last May the thought of 5 losses during the regular season and 2 to different BE foes was unthinkable. Yet here we are. I don't think it matters right now. I keep on going back to last year. It was another tough year but somehow Geno put on his magician's hat and got us to the Finals. I thought it was his best coaching job ever. He is doing something to this team right now, we can all be assured of that. Will it work? At least we are at the point where we will find out. There are a lot of very knowledgable and articulate basketball fans and students of the game on this site. I think they have covered everything that needed to be said about this team and the regular season that has now floated by. But now is the jumping off point. I will be holding my breath (figuratively only) tomorrow at noon. In my heart of hearts though, I believe and I trust. Perhaps I have read too many posts from Tony C. Perhaps I simply will not accept that all of what we went through this year was for naught and did not make us stronger. Either way, I'm glad it's time. [/QUOTE]
