Offensive execution

[Stretchdeltsig]

It seems that every year Buzz likes to talk the team down.  Whether its motivational or pointed at the next team to read, he likes to tell people that our team isn't very good.   The truth is that Lombardi was right in saying that "Winning is the only thing."  We are winning and trending better as a team.

The ironic part of this season is that even though the team leaves a lot to be desired it may also be the strongest evidence that Buzz has created a "culture of winning" as Cronin put it today.

My guess is most of us would suffer through the former if it continued the latter.

Execution of our offense? I'm in favor of it.

Coach McKay would be so proud!

Good observation, Lanche. We're on the verge of becoming a program whose "down years" are pretty darn good.

I love our start, but that does not guarantee anything. Last year at the halfway point Seton Hall was considered a lock to make NCAA tournament. They ended up playing themselves right out of it. I believe most teams improve in spurts. They play at a certain level for a while, take a jump and than plateau at the new level for a while. We probably had a spurt at start of Big East season, while the teams we were playing were plateauing. Next week we might be plateauing while the teams we are playing are spurting ahead of us. Sometimes the timing of when you play is the most important thing.

Your points were good and well-taken, but at the end this left me laughing and was all I saw. Yeah...I have the sense of humor of a 13-year-old.

Agreed, bilsu, the timing of the spurt is very important.

I think I understand where your thoughts are. I did not see that coming .

I agree with everything you say, but I don't think we're spurting right now.  I think we've grinded out a couple of wins and we're in a fortunate position because of that.  Once we do catch our wind and begin our spurt, this fortunate position that we've grinded ourselves into I'm hoping will be enough to get us to 10 wins or better in BEast play, which gives us a nice tourney spot.
