Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 2016514, member: 60"] This is definitely fair. I've definitely looked to Izzo as a great model for college. He prepares his team for March. Early season be damned. And, unless you are in the Duke/UK strata for recruiting, I think that's a great model. You have to be prepared to win six in a row, and, really, three 2-0 pods. I think the FF last year seems a bit less significant because of how mediocre we've been, record-wise, since our 25-0 start. In the past, it seems mediocre years were the aberration and any tourney success was due to us having a superior coach. Now, it seems reversed. We have had sustained mediocrity with an aberration of the FF run. Now, that may still not be fair. But I'm also on an Internet message boards for die hard SU fans and have been for almost 15 years, so I'm not always the most rational person, I guess. [/QUOTE]
