I have always been on board. I have always argued that the success of this team is not talent driven, but experience driven. We have the talent, they are just young. Even this team is still young, we don't have any seniors contributing right now and start 2 juniors, 2 sophmores and a walk-on. This team will still have it's highs and lows but there should be fewer lows and more highs as the season progresses. Next year will be the first year that you can really judge the program because it will be the first year where the team will have D-1 talent in every class.
I am starting to get pumped for the tournament because it looks like this team very well may be in the tournament. I'm not going to go much farther than that yet because there is a long way to go. As good as some of the recent moments have been, they are just a few good games. Not that I'm doubting that recent successes have been flukes or anything like that, I just want to take things slow enjoy the moments and slowly build to the tournament in Sioux Falls.

I believe at a minimum SDSU will split on the upcoming road trip. I believe we can take UMKC. Winning in Cedar City is going to be a challenge, as that coach they have has a great resume, just as the WIU Molenari. I believe also that is the players who play the game and win or lose. I believe we can also beat SUU. Then look, I believe we will only get stronger with each game.
I believe these 08-09 Rabbits have/will turn the corner on what has been a tough transition period. Wildly inconsistent so far, but four games speak volumes of how good they can be: IUPUI, WIU, Iowa St., & UCSB.
Griffan's addition, Moss's adaptation are helping make the whole team more open and flowing.
Jacks have demonstrated they can get out to a lead, and hold it when they have it. Still need testing of being down in the 2nd half and pulling a game out.
Having enjoyed many a great team, and exciting PACKED Frost arena in the late 70's, this team is looking like those teams again. WELCOME BACK JACKS!
