[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1444773, member: 586845"] I am going to have to disagree with you on at least part of this. Robert was pretty negative in his article. He was very positive... effusively positive about this one game, but repeatedly pointed out that it means nothing, and that just isn't true. Perhaps this season is lost. Personally, I'd say if we can salvage an NIT bid with a run at the end of the season, it's at least a positive in that it let's our young guys get that many more games under their belt before a hopefully-successful 2019/2020 campaign next season. It's also (potentially) a huge confidence booster for this team and might just be what they need to finally get that second-half-collapse monkey off their backs. If this represents a turning point, this may not be a lost season after all on our way to a (hopefully) successful rebuild. I also don't think it's a given that Ayo stays or goes. There is a lot of season left, and a lot left to be written. Pretending it would be a miracle if he stays is silly. Pretending he has no chance in the draft is also silly. Let's just try to enjoy what will hopefully be a smoother ride from here on out. [/QUOTE]
