[QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2134568, member: 6931"] I think they will be heavy favorites next year. They lose only one senior, they're getting some amazing new talent, and the existing core four will we a year older and better. But it's also because I think they will be hungry, much in the same way that MSU was hungry after what the Huskies did to them last year. While I think Geno and his team enjoyed this year a lot, and were amazed at how they overachieved, they never seemed all that hungry to me. Last night in particular, Geno did not come across to me as coach who was particularly hungry to win that game. But in terms of pressure, I think it's the complete opposite. This loss and the end of the streak should eliminate any pressure for next year. And what a great thing that is, to get this monkey off their back, to be able to just go out and play basketball again. I don't think Geno was looking forward to another year of having to justify why they never lose, and whether that's good for the game, etc. And I think the players will be much more loose without the pressure of the game streak, or trying to defend all those consecutive national championships, or an HBO crew following them around, etc. No, this in my opinion clears the deck and puts all the conditions in place for what I expect will be a very, and I mean VERY successful next couple of years. :cool: [/QUOTE]
