You must have missed where we've made the elite eight and final four 2 of the past three seasons.  Again, not convenient for the broken record anti-JB narrative.

Might be time to switch up some of the talking points.  "JB never plays more than 7..."  Only, ever since his involvement in USA basketball, he HAS expanded his rotation to 8 or 9, depending on the roster.

"JB has a glaring lack of posteason success..."  Except, we've fielded some pretty good teams recently who HAVE had post-season success [see above].

I don't think there's any fan of this program that wouldn't appreciate more post-season success.  And I fully understand the frustration, because I experience it too.  But as stated much earlier in this thread, some of the complaints are focused on the wrong things.  Because the reality of where we're at as a program is that we've had stints at #1 in three of the last five seasons.  We're recruiting like gangbusters.  And if it weren't for a fluke injury to Arinze in 2010 and Fab's selfish behavior in 2012, we'd have even more recent postseason success.

If you're not excited about the future direction this program is headed, then maybe you ought to go root for Michigan State, Kentucky, or Uconn since you're such a big self-proclaimed fan of how they play.  Problem solved.
