Wow. That puts things in perspective.

I think it's unanimous--no one on this board could ever be happy about those numbers. After saying that, opinions are divided on what is our next best alternative.

I don't think Coach K, Jay Wright, or Roy Williams is coming out of retirement to take UC to the Promised Land. So for me, it's stay the course, continue to rebuild, and hope that it all comes together, soon.

Was just an interesting albeit depressing stat. Wasn't a shot at Wes. He's obviously not responsible for all of those losses. I'm more optimistic about him after this season than I was after last.

Of course we have to "stay the course." UC just extended Coach Miller's contract. We've got no choice but to "stay the course."

As to the "hope it all comes together...soon" well... whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess. But there is no commandment that we "must" hope...or wish...or believe...or whatever...that "it will all come together."

In the words of "Jerry McGuire": SHOW ME DA MONEY. If Coach Miller makes it "all come together" then...fine. I will believe it when I see it. Until then? We're several steps behind Xavier, Houston, and whomever else continues to dominate us on the court.

The wording here is interesting...are you implying that some fans don't want UC basketball to be successful?
