Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 4224784, member: 889"] The biggest disappointment with last night, for me, was that the loss completely blunted our momentum and the building buzz and hype around the program. We're now at a tipping point, as we have been often in the Hurley era, between this being a special season that puts the program squarely back on the map or a good-but-not-great season where we're just kind of there. Last year, we got Bouknight back but finished meekly. Couldn't get over the hump in the BET, 7 seed, bad NCAAT performance. Now, this could go one of two ways. We're probably looking at a 5 seed right now. With a strong finish and a statement win or two in the BET, we're up into the top 4 seeds, getting some notice, and a S16 run doable that should amplify the buzz and show we're clearly on the right track. A disappointing BET performance leaves us closer to the 6 line, that ho-hum #20-30 range nationally, and behind the 8-ball to make the second weekend. Treading water. This is a big 10 days coming up that will really set the tone for not only the NCAA Tournament, but the trajectory of the program under Hurley. [/QUOTE]
