[QUOTE="FloridaMan, post: 1855072, member: 748523"] Not bad, ace, thanks for asking. That loss dropped us from 16 to out of the ap poll 4 weeks ago; we have yet to return. We are currently 32nd - ish in the poll, a projected 7-8 seed in the tournament with fans discussing as recently as last week whether we are going to even get in the tournament if we finish 10-10 in the league. That's not as relevant as I hope this team to be. We have underperformed for a team that reloaded with the best-rated transfer haul in college basketball. Having said that, we have some great wins and at times look like a top ten team. But too often, on the flip side we have also been wildly inconsistent and played anywhere from disjointed to downright unwatchable. We are a work in progress, I understand that. We have plenty of time to find consistency on the offensive end to match our defensive effort. Until we do, we are not a threat to cut down the nets on April 3rd. That is the big picture I'm focusing on, and by their own words the team is focusing on the same. I really hope they are. But, until we see them put a full 40 minutes together it will remain a question for many. [/QUOTE]
