Since I left Ct some years ago,I have enjoyed reading the entertainment provided by the posters on this board.I check it two or three times a day. Some of the guys on this board know basketball and provided me with insight to what was happening with the team as I only catch a few games a year. FRANK F IS NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!!! Do you think O'Conner, Mitch, and Courmier would have been around a little longer if they went 19,19 and 15! There are like 365+ other Division 1 basketball programs you can "support". PLEASE PICK ONE OF THEM FRANK!

If I was forced to opine, I would think the average of the entire seven years is about all that we could ever expect. I don't see going much beyond the 19 win years and this year will struggle to get to .500.

The frustrating part is the seeming lack of learning in some areas. You are going to lose some games in the last second, but you can't lose them like you did against Loyola. (Someone reminded me above of the Iona game of a few years ago....ugh) TOT NEVER learned to take Goode out when you needed a shot creator. You can love the kid and I think he was tough, effective and fun to watch. But you have to understand what he could not do, and TOT never did. Then, ending up with no front court after having no backcourt earlier is tough to swallow. I sense a stubbornness, the bad kind as well as the good kind.

Now they have had their moments, 98% of the Loyola game and lots of other times through the years. The wheels have not come off like they did at Loyola and St. Peters.

But I think what we have had is what we will have in the future. Is that good enough?
