re: It is amazing how people let 1 win alter their mindset and emotions

Yeah but it is equally true of the close ones we have lost. Wouda, shouda, couda! All sports games are that way but basketball is even more so. There is so much action that you can always find plays that would have put us over the top or in your case that would have put MS there.

Here is the reality of the basketball program. Trent is an above average but not great coach. He and his staff have not shown that they can recruit enough good players to get us above the middle of the conference. That of course can change.

Next year we should have a better team even if we only sign Malik Morgan. They will be more experienced, hopefully O'Bryant and Hickey become better players. However our depth will suffer and we will really miss Storm.

Trent and his staff need to do a better job recruiting or ultimately they will fail. True of any college sport or coach. Hamilton was a transfer and Hickey a lucky last minute addition. They have been our two best players and made this team what it is.
