Message: [QUOTE="Iluvsuebird, post: 5169271, member: 12567"] I say we threepeat. Here's why: 1. There are no dominant teams this year. And I have seen every top tier team play at least once. Everyone can be beat by a team hot from three. And we can get very hot from 3. 2. We are getting better. This is a point that Dan made a few weeks back, and I echo it. Other teams are already good, but not improving. Their ceiling is what it is. Our ceiling is TBD. Its been pointed out, Samson is getting better. Aidan is getting better. Our perimeter D is improving. And we are winning games without a key player. I like our ceiling. 3. We have the best coaches in the country. These coaches are part basketball coaches-part brainwashers. They convince our kids that they cant be beaten. And in March, they dont. 4. If The Bear can get just a little more consistent, and Samson continues to improve, we would go back to having 2 dominant big men. That is hard to handle. 4. Gut feeling: There is something about this team. While not as talented as the last two years, I see a dog on these guys that is reminiscing of the last two years. We take for granted that our teams make comebacks while down 12 on a Big East road game. That is not typical. We take our UConn spurts for granted. But that too is not typical. Anyway, I do not gamble. But if I did, my money would be on Dan and his staff versus the field. [/QUOTE]
