Hey, Bethune-Cookman almost won the MEAC, losing by three in the final to future bracket buster Norfolk State, that's gotta count for something.

The problem with college basketball is that every team plays 30+ games, so you can always play 6 degrees of separation that demonstrates by the transitive property that some team under 0.500 in a middle major conference could beat the national champion. All it takes is catching fire one night. To be honest, we got lucky to beat Illinois State. How often can we go 12 of 20 from 3pt range (though Illinois St was also in the midst of a hot streak with 13-30 3 pters)? The real test is grinding it out over the course of a season.

Still, the past two weeks have been a fantastic ride. I was honestly shocked that we were even selected to play in the NIT. Then to be able to host the first game, see Bright have a career night (where does it rank in the all time list of performances by Stanford players?) on Monday, and then have it all come together last night against Nevada. See the seniors go out on a high is fantastic (compare that to Kal losing 4 of their last 5 and laying a turd in the play-in game). I was optimistic going into the Pac12 tourney that we could do some damage. It seems my hope was premature, but based on something substantial.

It would be fantastic to "hoist a banner".
