Epic Turnaround

[dpwhite]

2 things can be true at the same time. I can be happy about the season and making the round of 32, but I can also be disappointed at not capitalizing on the chance to make the sweet 16 and even a possible final 4 berth. The road was not impossible to make the final 4 looking at how the bracket shook out.

You aren’t the kind of fan I’m talking abiut

do you guys watch sports? This happens all the time. Next year we Would be extremely lucky to make the tournament and get an upset in the tournament

It seems to happen to us all the time.

It seems to happen to us all the time.

After this history, if making the tourney is something that will now happen to us all the time, I'll take it. Personally, I like the progression the team has shown under Pike and expect even more to come.
