[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1178029, member: 4069"] I don't post much, given how my view seems to be incompatible with the optimism that those remaining express, but getting destroyed by MSU says to me we'll be lucky to get more than 1 quality (top-50) win this season, and certainly not away from home. Kenpom currently ranks us 125, Sagarin's predictor is 121, although Sagarin has us trending up with his "recent" category. That ranking seems about right to me, which says we're not going to make the NIT this year, and we've got a ways to go to be an NCAA team next year. I do expect we'll be in the dance next year, but I was hoping we'd be talking about being a regular team in the top-25 next year, not just a team that could make the dance, or would be on the bubble if anything goes wrong again. I'm just not feeling that the glass is half full. [/QUOTE]
