Yet some people would have you believe that making the tourney in year 2 was unrealistic 

I’m more impressed with the 3 year consistency (Elite 8, Final game, ranked 12th this year) Beard has had. Normally a TT type team might hit the jackpot one year and then fade after that. He seems to have things rolling....At TT!!

In bold....this is 100% incorrect.  

In red, only if you watch only for the score.   That's absolutely your prerogative; but it's not boring if you're watching our players and our team develop rather than the score.

In purple, disagree with this, too.  I think we know a lot about this team.  What don't you know?  Without the crystal ball stuff like "what will happen if ____," what don't we know?  What haven't you seen?   Serious question.  

I, personally, have no problem with the schedule. I enjoy the games regardless of who we are playing and I watch more how the team is playing than who. I was trying to address it from the perspective of those who have an issue with the pre-conference schedule. I believe that no matter how well I think I know this team, CAM knows it much better and he builds the schedule based on that knowledge. I think we substantially agree on most points. Either I didn't state my point clearly enough or you misinterpreted what I said. Possibly some combination of both. Anyway, I love what I'm seeing so far and believe this is a much better TEAM than the one we watched last year.

Weird - looks like Indiana, OSU, and Louisville have all done relatively the same based on the chart

The chart only takes in account total wins (not conference standing or tourney results) over the past 4 years. Matta’s last year at 17-15 is in there and they barely made the tourney last year with just a 20-15 overall record (I.e. their 4 year total is not much different than ours).

I am not that impressed with North Carolina either. I think we will see teams with 5-6 losses on the 1 line in the tournament. A team like Gonzaga that can rack up a lot of wins will be in good shape this year.

I pretty clearly stated that talent comes in different forms. I guess that’s not a clear enough statement

No one ever said otherwise. But no one is winning titles with just a bunch of 3 stars. But Virginia did it with a majority of 4*’s and two 3*’s.

So during Feast week according to all the analysts calling each game there are about 120 teams that are going to make the 68 team field. Lol. I know they are promoting the game they are calling but it’s still funny.

Kansas and Dayton go to overtime. No team has led by more than 6 points. Great ball game.
