[QUOTE="moqui, post: 192826, member: 214"]
for me, this year has already been wildly successful.  I came into the season believing that this was going to be a mid-pack team in conference and a 1st weekend team in the NCAAT.
 
The fact that this team won a school record 20 in a row, has been in the top 5 all year long, tied a school record with 6 weeks at #1 (and could still break the record with a 7th week if things fall right), and is likely to win its 2nd outright conference title in 3 years is remarkable to me.   It is still the same team I thought I saw in October - no true low post presence, poor rebounding, mediocre outside shooting, an often-painful-to-watch half court offense.  And yet, here we are just some botched coursework away from being undefeated both in and out of conference, with long losing streaks to our nemeses assigned to the dustbin of history.  To me, this season has been incredibly successful already, regardless of how it plays out.  This will go down as one of the most memorable Orange seasons in history no matter how it ends, IMO.
 
I had low expectations, so I am very happy.  I still look at the flaws I listed and think it will be hard for this squad to get past the Sweet 16, so even getting to the Regional Finals will be a huge accomplishment in my book.  And, of course, I would love to eat heaping plates of crow and see them go even further.
