Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 176175, member: 285"] Interestingly, they have 15 former players currently/recently on NBA rosters. 11 that have left school since 2004 (Howland's first season). Howland is in his 9th season there and they have gone to the NCAA tournament 6 of 8 years ... missing his first season and 09-10. Had a run of three straight Final Fours. Things don't look great for them this year, but its not over yet and the conference is weak. They lost two guys off of last year's roster to early exits to the NBA. They have two recruits signed for next year ('12) one 5 star and one 4 star. Had a weak class come in this year with only 1 top 100 player. That coupled with the early departures and I think they had some chemistry issues last year may be the reason for their lull. I don't think they are anywhere near insignificant. [/QUOTE]
