No reason the johnnies can't win 17 or 18 games if Mason and Burrell bring their "A" games every night and Malik takes care of the ball. It's up to the coaches to figure out the rest.
The lack of excitement/hope in regards to this season is really sad. It seems alot of people in the media and the majority of the fans on these internet forums have written this team off already. Big mistake if you ask me.
Don't sleep on the storm in '09.
what have they done bring about excitement? i think people are excited for college hoops because people like college hoops. roberts struck out on every local recruit, and our best 3 point shooter dropped us cold to go to some crap midwestern school.
wash, rinse repeat. same story every year. the storm need to prove that they are worthy of being in the big east. every year that goes by where we are completely irrelevant, we get closer to making it obvious that we don't belong in this conference.
If they want respect, they have to play like they want it. There is no reason why Mason and Burrell can't bring their "A" games every night. No reason except a desire to win, and that has to be questioned if this continues yet again.
