Any result but a close loss is fine with me.
Man I'm sorry but damn that. at least for me. Even under the hopeful and logical premise that BZZ will be gone at the end of the year regardless of how this year ends up, for the sake of the future of this program and whoever coaches it next year and into the future, this team must show marked improvement now. As of now it has not.
As mothersodear pointed out we've not played anybody and we've not beat anybody. Our OOC is a joke. the few times it presented us a with a respectable opponent we whiffed and failed. In conference we have defeated a cellar dweller, an inconsistent lost team, and two middle of the pack teams who were sorely depleted. Our respectable conference foes have run us out of the gym.
I think it is a must that we win a minimum of 6 out of our 11 remaining games and, for me, 2 of them have to come from either SU home, Duke home, or Duke away. Out of our 31 games only 6 on the schedule this far have appeared in the top 25. Were 1-3 and the 1 win was to a team who was promptly told to GTFO.
My fear is what ChrisL68 alluded to. you cannot waste 6 years of productivity for 1 year with a massive class that experiences one year of marginal success only to have to start all over again. That is not sustainable. Damn this, "Im just happy a big team is coming to town and were not ready just yet but maybe next year we'll get them" mentality. That LOWF shit flies in the face of 20 straight years of prideful WF basketball.
Tonight is a must win and I'm rooting for us. A win tonight, 1 win against Duke, and a 20 win season are all crucial. This scenario creates some tourney talks (at least NIT), re attracts coaches to our proud program, allows us to "thank" Bzz for his "efforts" or whatever the fuck you want to call them, appease the BZZ-in fringe and their wacky narrative so the fan base can reunite and get over all this mess, and it at restores some proper order in the WF basketball world. No excuses, put up or shut up.
