Happy to see everyone excited

Should be undefeated. Those 2 losses are head scratchers.

Not at all. When you're playing on the road and have a bad night, every team can beat you. But I'll admit, that one against CCU was brutal.

The coastal loss was absolutely a head scratcher. They are not a good basketball team and we had them beat. We let them off the hook. ODU on the other hand makes a little more sense. Anyway we are 20-4 and having some fun. Thursday is gonna be a good one.

Thursday is pretty much a must win. USM’s schedule after Thursday is real soft.

Barring a total collapse Marlin will have earned his extension. I don’t harbor any ill will or intent. The question is can repeated success be sustainable. It hasn’t proven to be so far in his tenure.

Let’s just enjoy this team and hope they achieve to the level they are capable of achieving.

Dance or bust for me.

Let’s just hope that Marlin gets the coveted extension.

I get this line of thinking 100%. I do and its how I felt going into this season. But, if this team is able to close out a tougher than thought SBC with a regular season title but somehow falter to someone who is hot in the tournament, I will not see this season as a failure. I'm sorry.

I was a staunch Marlin supporter for years. However, as you state, this IS a special team. If we don’t make the tourney, we never will.

It's a failure if you do not win the tournament. That is the only goal for Marlin. Getting the 1 seed for the tourney is very important though. Letting USM and Marshall battle it out on the other side of the bracket is crucial.

I want to make the tournament as much as anyone. However, if we were to win the regular season but get tripped up in the tournament, it would be a disappointment but I'd also consider it a great season.

Clearly your definition of great is somewhat lower than mine. Maybe we should go to something a little less subjective. Rating the season 1-10. A regular season championship maybe 7, tournament championship 8, a NCAA win a 9, and ten for sweet sixteen win or better. We definitely aren’t great yet.

I see in this analysis only 8 teams in the country are great . . . a little tough don’t you think . . .
