Title: That was a win to build on Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 07, 2012, 07:04:02 EST Add Stokes to this equation, and who knows what can happen this season? I don't think we're going to compete for a title or anything, but this is a team that can make some noise in SEC play. Our poor OOC resume probably means that short of an SECT title, we're not going to the dance, but this is a team that can make a run in the NIT and build a solid foundation for next year. :thumbup:

Didn't Bruce have one year of bad OOC games at some point? I can't recall. Regardless, there is a lot more to look forward to the rest of this season now. :nod: Title: Re: That was a win to build on Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 07, 2012, 07:27:58 EST Hopefully the OOC record was necessary for team-building and it's onward and upward from hear.

Bruce got at least a couple big OOC wins every year I can remember. In fact, those wins over Pitt and Villanova got us to the dance last year, because at 8-8 in the league, we definitely wouldn't have gone otherwise. Given our OOC struggles this year, it would probably take at least an 11-5 SEC record to get us there, and that's just not going to happen.

Just be competitive in the SEC is all I expect. That looked rather unlikely before today, but not anymore. There is always the chance of an SEC tourney run, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. |
