and unfortunately some fans also.

We're hearing so much negative lately, there are some amazing facts about this team that stands at 26-2 in a new conference playing at new venues with 3 new starters from our 30-10 Final 4 team last year. With 3 games remaining in 2012-2013 we were 22-6. Last year we ended the regular season at 23-8.

This year we had to replace 3 starters and a key reserve, DC2. Our two seniors and 1st round NBA bound sophomore starter were replaced with a freshman and two sophomores this year. We also suffered key injuries this year with both Baye and Jerami not being able to play in games and Dajuan losing the entire season. Yet we stand 26-2.

The media's theme should be the amazing job this program, its' coaches and players have done to keep a standard of excellence despite graduations, NBA early entries, injuries...

Sure would be nice to hear the media talk actual facts and really analyze performances, consistencies and aberrations. This team is filled with good kids who work their butts off and have only made us proud for their demeanor and actions both on and off the court. As Arbs has said “it's a great time to be Orange”.
