Very proud of the team, and happy we got FOUR games out of this tourney which just made the incredibly aesthetically unpleasing season of basketball seem quite enjoyable in retrospect.  I am sad that we seem to have morphed into some plucky mid-major or crap power conference team, that barely makes the tourney, and then turns into the little-engine that could.  It feels like we've become Norther Iowa or Wichita State before they were getting high seeds!  haha  People seem to really think it validates our awesomeness....I'm not sure it does.  I never wanted to be those schools.  :(

The discussion just sucks - if we don't make the tourney, the negative posts are out of control as people feel like you can't argue with them.  But, much like the year of our improbable FF run, the other side becomes just as intolerable with the whole, "we planned this crap, we are unquestionably the greatest at developing talent and just turning it on in March!!!"  Either way, makes the forum hard to read.

Watching Marek in the tourney was one of the happier moments I've had in a bit though.  Just crazy to see the light turn on for him like that after a rather pedestrian campaign.  I mean, he didn't turn into Melo, but just really had a great performance and it was fun to see it all transpire.  Wish he could have avoided the fouls yesterday.  :(

I'm hoping next year we can return to being a bit more stable on offense and defense.  We shall see...
