I chose the 2nd weekend - ie. sweet 16 as my definition of a successful season. Doesn't mean I don't think we can do better.

Last year, the STAFF bandied about the 3-peat, the players were on board, and fan expectations thru the roof, preseason we were ranked #3. Fast forward - Mahaney was far less than thought/hoped, Karaban had a below average (for him) year, Ross was nowhere near the player the staff raved about in practice, our guards struggled to keep players in front of them, and the disastrous trip losing to Memphis, Dayton, and Colorado (and Seton Hall later) set us on a low path seed and we ended up losing to the national champs in round 2.

So yeah I'm cautiously optimistic. Will Demery be great, very good, good, or average? How about our back up PG Malachi? Will Karaban get back to the Alex we know he can be? I know we expect a lot out of the freshmen, but just how good will they be? Ball has already stepped up as has Reed, but what about Stewart and Ross? Too many questions at this time, and I'm not ready to jump back on the hype bus till we know more about what we have this coming season.
