We had good years back in 70s and we had a 4-5 year stretch under Taylor that was excellent. Outside of that, last year was better than almost any other season."

I would wager that the 93, 94, 95, 97, 05, 06, 07, 10, 11, and probably '15 teams were all better than last season's team. Those are fairly consistent high quality teams for nearly 20 years. Not including the 70s and 80s which some would say were even better. Last season's team was good, but to me was more like the 99 ODU team that made the NIT and beat Seton Hall.

Throughout ODU's history, we have owned W&M, at least been even with VCU, and made the NCAA's an average of once every 4 years.

I don't think it is unreasonable to get back to that standard.

Exactly. No 4-year ODU player should ever graduate without going to the NCAA tournament at least once. We should also beat VCU close to 50% of the time considering they are our in-state arch-rival. That should be the standard. If we do better, it's over-achieving... which is great, and should happen occasionally. If we do worse, at least admit theres a problem and a real need for action to see improvement.
