Sometimes it's so easy to let that sense of entitlement creep into your thinking when it comes to the ladies. It's been a great run over the past 5 years, and similarly, how easy is it to forget despite all the preseason hype and mid season appearance in the AP Poll, that this year's team is in the rebuilding mode. They lost more than most teams ever had.

When they play a close game people scratch their heads. When they lose a game in their own league its news and blog fodder. http://maacbball.blogspot.com/2009/01/fairfield-women-hope-for-more.html But, still they wear it very well.

Heck we even have a fan of a certain men's team posting that their fav is now the best team in the MAAC. High praise indeed despite the gender confusion.

The nice long break between a Sunday at St. Peters and Manhattan on Friday should help Viani and Caron get their legs back and, for bench depth and some muscle, hopefully Stallings as well. In the meantime maybe the staff can figure out how to duct tape point guard rotation together without disabling the 2 like happened against FF.

No time like the present to get the ball rolling down hill with a tough closing stretch against top half opponents (including the "we won't get fooled again" rematch at FF) and the near bracketbuster game at Hartford and the chance for redemption on the deuce.
