I think people are giddy primarily b/c what felt like a lost season feels like maybe there's a chance to be an OK one. That's not to say we're headed for the top 25 or the tournament just yet but I was wondering if this was a 12-13 win team at one point. So I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling some pretty good vibes after avenging losses on the road in sort of must win spots.

Having said that, I agree that it's tough to point to a stretch of four or five games and say 'See, we're developing talent just fine!' I'm absolutely on board with Buddy's expanding his game a bit and Marek's post play has been huge the past three games. Thought it was a great night for Sidibe -- points were a huge plus but a ton of nice hustle plays and he logged 30+ minutes without fouling out.

I would say that we haven't had a great track record of sustained year-over-year improvement the past several seasons. Lydon/Roberson/Chuckwu/Frank to name a few have had some odd, uneven developmental paths. I think it's still a concern to some degree though, as some have insinuated, maybe some of it has to do with the players.

Whatever the case may be, however, it's been fun the past couple weeks and here's hoping we can continue our improved play and make some more noise the next couple months. Definitely fun to watch.
