    No one expects him to win the league every year. I don't think there is a team out there that expects their coach to win their league every single year.

    I'd take a team like Wisky this year. If Mac gets us a #1 ranking, he is doing a helluva job.

    This will all play out in the next 3-4 years. I had to chuckle when you that you don't know a team that expects their coach to win their league every year...Well I instantly thought of the Kansas Jayhawks!!

    I will guarantee you that their fans are thinking championship every year...I happen to know a bunch of KU fans and its championship or bust!!

    I don't think that A&M will stay on top they lose too much this year Law, Pompey, and kavaliauskas. Jones and Carter are probably back but could leave. It will be though not having a point guard that has started for 3 years see ISU.

In that moment, I forgot about everything and getting this win felt like a post season game. The crowd was AWESOME tonight!!! great win!
    Not to pin this on you 'jones', but it seems like after every win this year a thread starts at how Hilton Magic is back and so forth. Then two days later, in a thread we all start bashing the crowds and how it needs to improve in many ways. I guess there really isn't a point to my post, just am getting annoyed with this.

    Read again: I never claimed Hilton Magic is back....because clearly it is not. We've lost 4 home games this year. All I said is there were a couple moments of it for ME and it felt great.
