I would really like to see us make the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament.

I would be content with that, but the goal should be to win the championship. A goal of the NCAAs is weak IMO. If we want to compete with UK and Uconn, two powerhouses, we need to set our sights higher than that. I'm not saying I expect us to win it all, but you compete to win. Not to improve slightly.

Norm Roberts had a goal of the NCAAs.

Yeah Poison, good luck with that goal of winning it all.
Maybe that because realistic after this year. If we get IB, Diallo, and Sampson, then the goals becopme so much higher.

No. The odds of making a run with seniors is much higher than making a run with freshman. This isn't Kentucky.
This isn't Kentucky, damn now you tell me that come 2015 it will 60 years since I enrolled at SJU. Back then at least we could delude ourselves,

This year we have to make the dance, and win atleast 1 game, we did the one and done thing in Lavins first year. Have to atleast get one this year, Anything more would be betters

I'm not saying that I have any such expectation, but rather that the team should. Who sets out to be pretty good? What's the point? I'm sick of moral victories. This team has been here, and they've got one last chance to leave St.John's with their heads held high.

I meant if they stick around a few years, not their freshmen year. Though like many said IB will most likely be one and done, so never mind i guess.

I'm with Poison on this...if you want to charge high major prices for tix...you have to walk the walk.

if you can keep your big mouth shut for 3 weeks, you will know everything you need to about both Lavin and this team.
