Re: Dare to expect BIG THINGS from this team

[jon breiner]

I am not changing my "wishlist".  If UC makes it into the NIT that will be 
quite a feat.  The schedule might be easier this year than last, but not by 
much, and this year's team would lose to last year's team.  I am not 
tempering my enthusiasm, I am letting it build to heights I feel comfortable 
with.  If I expect 25-6 and get 15-15, I will be very disappointed.  But 
since I expected the worst earlier (like immediately after AK's injury last 
year) and have simply been hoping this year's team can be .500, I will stick 
to that.  If they achieve more, great, but I do not expect this team to be 
in the NCAA tourney next year.  if they are, I would say Mick's coaching job 
was as good as Andy's last year.  Better in some respects, but no one 
(likely) will ever have more difficult extenuating circumstances than Andy 
had, so his success was truly remarkable.
