RE: Please Explain part 2

[Steffen, Brian]

More important, I believe that the "flash in the pan" has one huge
effect on the underclassmen... Confidence.  When a team believes that it
can accomplish great things, that goes a long way.

I don't think it will make that much of a difference... More like "Flash
in the pan"

A LOT = increased national exposure, increased recruiting exposure,
increased nationl respect, increased fan base, a lot more money (ncaa
tourney money as well as merchandising and tv money that's likely to
increase for future games).

A lot = 4 spots in the final ranking.

14th in the polls and a near win in the Final 8 is A LOT different than
18th in the polls and a blowout second round loss.

The fact remains we finished 18th and X finished 14th.  The discourse on
this forum suggested that everything was so awful at UC and everything
was so wonderful in X land.  Four spots difference after all that
blather.

I'm not really sure what you need an explanation on? Are you asking why
UC ended up ranked 18th in the nation?? Do you believe they should have
been ranked higher or lower?? and....What does the last sentence in your
post exactly mean?? I'm Confused???
