Yeahhhh I know I know. Process has to be gone through for success to occur, I just wish it didn't and we were awesome right from the start. Hopefully, we stay steadfast and get to the NIT!

Forgot the NIT. This team just beat the best team in the conference on the road. Let's get back to the Big Dance!

Massey had us with a 87% chance of losing by 13 points.

How quickly so many have jumped on the bandwagon! I remember getting lots of grief before the season when I predicted a 20 win season based on the talent on this team. When I was posting highlights of Pryor, Youngblood, and Placer, I got a lot of grief as well. ASUN talent, JuCo talent, etc.

We've got room for them to jump on board.  We're a jaded bunch!

Agreed, only a few of us that never wavered, never doubted this team even at our darkest hour!  #Go Bulls!

Unfortunately, our only probable route to the NCAA tournament is by actually winning the conference. That's a big ask with 14 more conference games remaining with matchups remaining against 4 more teams currently listed higher than us in the standings which have a combined record of 47-21.

Great win. I'm very jaded on the football program but the basketball team is making good steps.

I don't think that we would have to win the conference tournament. If we can finish at least 10-4 the rest of the way, including a win against another ranked team (FAU) and then win at least 1 conference tournament game that would put us at 21-10 with wins against 2 ranked teams. That would be a strong argument.
