It was too different points entirely, my apologies if it was difficult to follow.

1) Our program is changing. In the ten years I've been a Blue Raider, the only other time I've really seen realistic postseason talk was the year we were looking pretty strong and choked it away and ended up embarrassing ourselves by paying money to play in the CIT or whatever bogus tournament we played in only to lose in the first round(to Missouri State if memory serves) and stay stuck on 19 wins. Last year our postseason play was inevitable and we even had some talk of an at-large bid, chances were slim and of course we didn't get in, but getting an at large would have been big for the conference and HUGE for us. While our postseason bid is far from sealed this year, this season is shaping up pretty well for us to be playing in the post season again. Times have changed for MT basketball, we still have a ways to go, but our program is in a much better place now than I've ever known it before.

2) The bit about Hot Springs predictions was specifically about this season(whereas the first was about the program overall) I've only caught us on television a few times this year and haven't made it up from Atlanta yet this basketball season which means I haven't seen us in person and I haven't seen anyone else in conference in person. I can certainly make some predictions just off box scores, standings and fan discussion here, but I'd feel better about making predictions had I watched some games in person. The only way the two points really intermingle is the idea that while we have a history of choking in the conference tournament, clearly other aspects of our program are changing, so while I'm not willing to make a prediction just yet, perhaps our performance in the conference tournament will finally change as well.

Make sense?

Yea, my issue was the changing, then you said that if anyone thought mt was changing they were crazy. I think that was a typo. But i could not tell if you meant change as in program advancing or as in this year regressing. I gotcha now...
