The really annoying part is that we literally just won the A10 and beat the Big 10 champion in the NCAAs, and even that apparently didn't raise anyone's expectations! Of course it's possible -- we just did it!
So why can't the expectation from our administration and fanbase be "Let's do it again! Let's use that as a jumping block to annually being in the mix for an at-large bid and conference championship and to regularly shut up that other team downtown by taking back that series."
Instead, we get people making lots of excuses about how it takes time, we can't ever be expected to hold five-point leads with a minute left, etc etc. Maddening.
I don't expect us to win the A10 this year and never did, but you can't convince me we don't have enough talent right now to have been in the mix for an NCAA appearance.
