[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 699406, member: 274"] I'm sympathetic to this point of view also. Your post in the great season thread [URL='https://gtswarm.com/threads/thanks-for-a-great-season-of-mbb.21277/page-2#post-699224']here[/URL] echoes my feelings. What I'm putting out there in this thread is a mild pump the brakes to go along with my overall cautious optimism. Whether we played like a NCAAT team or not is still TBD in my mind. In our relatively strong finish, we went 7-2 against a series of NIT and CBI teams, with our lone NCAAT caliber win of the entire season. I did not think we were all that convincing in several of the wins relative to strength of opponent to feel confident that projects forward to similar results if the ACC returns to form. I'm hopeful, and I think we are as well set up as we have been in a while. But we need to improve. Along the same lines, coaching was inconsistent. No excuse for the Syracuse and Ball State games, regardless of injury. We were favored to win those games for a reason, and losing is one thing, but losing the way we did is another. I am excited that we did something we haven't done in 15 years. But it matters that it was in large part due to circumstances out of our control i.e., the ACC being historically bad. The ACC has never had only 4 teams qualify for the NCAAT since full expansion. Anyway, I'm more excited for next year than I was for this year, and I thought we'd finish this year on the lower end of 5-8 in the ACC and be NCAAT competitive. [/QUOTE]
