I wish I had watched, but how exciting!  The mood on this board seems to have been swinging back and forth on Haase.  Tell you what, if our team finishes strong this year as last night's game seems to indicate we can, then I'll start following MBB next year--something I haven't done since we missed our chance to hire Monty back.  But the sentiments expressed here after the C.al game were a little different than after the UCLA game.....

I was excited for the victory but jury's still out on this team until they can deliver on the mental toughness side night in and night out - a big challenge for a young team but we do have strong veteran leadership with Travis, Humphrey, and Pickens.

Unfortunately I think the terrible pre-season record is going to prevent them from getting into the big dance. They'd need to win at least 12 conference games and make the conference semis and I don't see that happening. But if they could just finish with a .500 or better overall record and an NIT bid I'd consider that a success from this point forward.
