That's a positive step. It's best to get on board now and see where it goes.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pure crazy talk All we hear about in college sports these days is the "eye test" and my long-time USF basketball fan eyes respectfully disagree. These guys more than pass the eye test for me. You are right though, lots of teams to beat on the schedule before they earn the official title of best USF team ever. For me, though, they are the best in the past 30 years and I believe they will prove me right. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can hold our own at home and just see if we can steal a couple on the road. Obviously, the youthfulness is the key and how they handle conference pressure especially on the road Watched Cincy-Tulsa and ECU-Memphis the other night and you're right, we can play with all of them.

I hope like hell they prove you right but to be officially the best team ever I'd think they'd have to get to the 2nd weekend of the Big Dance and I'm just not sure they'll be experienced enough for that this year ...

No chaos. tough defense/rebounding. Just about all return next year. Should be a good little run, if you enjoy basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you missed the 09-10 season or 11-12 season where USF won 20+ games in what was widely accepted as the best basketball conference in the nation? Not trying to take away anything from this set of kids. Can't see them getting to that "pinnacle" this year. Maybe after another season or two? Win a mid-major tourney and get into the 2nd or 16? Bars fairly low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this thread being resurrected 15 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
