so, if current trends continue.....

If current trends continue, we will lose all tough road games, win all of our home games, and lose in St. Louie for the 21st consecutive time and then we all begin to hope that next season we can get back to the NCAA Tourney and beat Creighton at their place.....again.

18-5 this year (up from 17-17 last year, and 11-20 the year before), and you think we're stuck at the status quo?

Status quo? No. But marginally better. We had a tougher SOS last season compared to this year. In addition, the Valley was much better last season compared to this year's. Quite honestly, it's almost a wash.

Yes our out of conference games were tougher last season, i'll agree with that. But marginally better??? Please tell me your joking. for the most part now we compete away from home. We are in every game, we do not fold like last years team might have. Much better than marginal. For us to be even talking about possible Ncaa birth is way more than marginal.

+1

I would also say that the NIT is more than marginally better than the CBI...

the Valley is about the same as it was last year RPI wise

What I think has made Hannah so much better this year is his patience. This year when he dribbles into the lane and gets stopped, he turns around, then spins back and then goes another direction and finds the shot or open man for the dish.

If I had one piece of advice for DW, it would be "slow down". He blew by people in high school on sheer speed alone. That doesn't cut it in D-1. He needs to develop the Hannah patience and be strong rather than fast. With strength, he will be use his quickness to his advantage rather than using his speed to run into the trees out of control.

People have to remember, at the beginning of the season we were suppose to be a 5th place team and a year away. I am absolutely thrilled the process has moved this quickly. What ever happened the rest of the way, this year will still be one of funnier years for me in recent memory.

How do we replace Hannah?

Don't get me wrong, the PG is the most important position on the floor. BUT they don't have to be the best player. I think coach will find a "good enough" PG to run the system. With that said, you replace Hannah with 4 seniors (Hatch, Durley, Ellis & Blair) and 3 Juniors (Kyles, Murry & Stutz)...all of them have plenty of time to improve enough to where we won't need a PG who has to do soooo much all of the time. They will take the pressure off the PG IMHO.

Come on. We've improved a lot since last year and it has nothing to do with the Valley either.

The Valley was not better last year.
