[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 787381, member: 2299"] I am hopeful of next year and I believe I've been one of the more vocal posters about that specifically when someone mentions us absolutely needing a grad transfer big, or talking about replacing Jose. When the topic of Pastner's contract has come up and there has been concern about us losing a lot and taking a step back I have pointed out that experiencing a step back, especially a predicted one, isn't a sign that we are on the wrong path. I am 100% behind supporting Pastner and the staff going forward and feel it would be a mistake to behave with the mentality of "what if he isn't the one we need". What I'm talking about is not whether we should have hope. We absolutely should have hope. I don't want the issue to be whether we can hope for a NCAAT birth or even the question of if we will or not. At the beginning of the season I want us to take it as an assumption we will make the NCAAT and be talking about how far the team can go. To me, that's when we'll be out of the desert. And that type of feeling only comes from sustained success spanning across multiple nucleuses (nuclei? ) of players. It's not that I doubt that Pastner can have that level of success, but that he hasn't, and hasn't had a chance to because the core we have this year is the first real core group he has has a chance to put together (treating it as the same core as last year because it pretty much is).
