Those are the odds, I would say of advancement. <br /><br />AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-57659186414517997562014-01-20T07:53:57.594-07:002014-01-20T07:53:57.594-07:00Alan, read my post again.

I said winning the WAC having a 3 game winning streak in the WAC tourney and having an opportunity to advance in the NCAAs is not an unrealistic goal. You can't win the lottery unless you buy a ticket. You can't advance in the NCAAs unless you get into the tournament. All along I have accepted the WAC being a one bid league. These blogs are good as they allow people to express their opinions. I would suggest that you don't use snippets of other people's opinions, especially taken out of context, and try to bolster your position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-81138275930246087072014-01-18T21:44:47.386-07:002014-01-18T21:44:47.386-07:00Ok everybody notice carefully what Jesus and anon ...Ok everybody notice carefully what Jesus and anon 9:32 just did...they are now saying that success is getting into the dance. <br /><br />THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Our league is a misery!<br /><br />I feel bad for us. We are sinking in mediocrity and because we have a chance to win a jv tourney, people are still holding out hope.<br /><br />When oh when will you hold your coach and AD responsible?<br /><br />denial is NOT A RIVER EGYPT.....Drink the coffee and wake up!<br /><br />AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-85144316129913775632014-01-18T09:32:26.946-07:002014-01-18T09:32:26.946-07:00I don't think they are a great team and as I s...I don't think they are a great team and as I said before conference play started, I expect them to lose 2 or 3 games on the road in conference play. It was an off night and nothing more than that. If it happens again tonight against UMKC then expectations for this team were way out of line. The absence of Sim is a huge factor right now. It is interesting that when the Aggies win it is because of talent or who we're playing and when we lose, it is poor coaching. Is that fair? Maybe you think that but I don't think so. I think we're the best team in a weak conference and our focus should be to win the conference, have a 3 game winning streak in the WAC tourney and have the opportunity to advance in the NCAAs. I don't think that is unrealistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-31037801973945312632014-01-18T07:14:13.482-07:002014-01-18T07:14:13.482-07:00Dumb loss.

It should definitely serve as a wake up call and teach them to show up ready to play and not take these sad WAC opponents lightly. I guess we'll find out tonight if they learned anything.Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-59420946706200431482014-01-18T02:23:18.171-07:002014-01-18T02:23:18.171-07:00In a one bid league, you should only be concerned ...In a one bid league, you should only be concerned about being undefeated in the conference tournament. All that talk about running the table in the regular season was meaningless. It provides a better seed in the NCAA Tourney, but you have to get there first. Rather they lose, shake off the undefeated talk, and refocus.<br /><br />JesusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-68380984912322552832014-01-17T21:12:51.620-07:002014-01-17T21:12:51.620-07:00oooh.
