The runaway success that was John Groce's first season

The bar really was that low. But Groce cleared it by miles and kept going. One of the other things I'll remember about this Miami game is sudden B1G cynic Charles Barkley heaping praise on Groce's coaching job on the postgame show, noting that it's really impressive when a coach can get players to "run through the fire" with him.
