What's your state of mind for the rest of the season?

[GatoLouco]

I start this thread as I feel calm, despite us basically having pissed away our chances of a 3 peat.

The program gave us 2 wonderful years. For our modest expectations it was something else. This season it made us dream of over achieving again. I said I believed we had enough to get to 10 wins. In the past 11 was kind of the dancing cut off. This season, with the expanded conference, it might be 10. And I suppose we, indeed, had enough talent for that, but needed a bit of luck that we did not get.

So I'll just enjoy it for what it is:

• Team is competitive enough to get our opponent's best attitude, something that in the past would have been a blessing
• We have two all conference type of players
• We can hope to see (more of) the development of two very promising freshmen
• NIT would not be so bad

The things that can make me go sour:

• Lack of (apparent) effort like what we saw in Champaign
• Not getting to 7-8 wins. There are enough fairly winnable games left. We end up with 4-5 and everything positive I said goes out the window.

I want to see KJ and Angelo start getting as many minutes as possible. I am still hoping for eight or nine wins, and some postseason play.

Those two statements are incongruous.

Just enjoy the games one by one. The probability of making the tourney at this point is pretty low.
Do NOT do anything that would run any risk of hurting Barnhizer's future. Not worth it. Mart doesn't need to be playing 40 minutes per night either. Give KJ and Angelo much more minutes.

Personally I'm just debating whether to do brunch before tomorrow's game or early dinner afterwards.

Of course this would really be first time to actually use a free Chick-fil-A voucher (from Wednesday's game).
