We are in crunch time and fighting for our Big Dance Live's. The tournaments (A10 & Dance) are on all of our collective minds. With that in mind, I was thinking this morning about what my expectations of this program are at the moment. I know we may have done this in the past but thought it was timely now with some of the changes such as Seat Equity, the fact that Mike's been here a while, and our present profile on the college basketball landscape.
Here goes:
Given the support we give and the resources expended our Men's Basketball program my expectations as a donor and fan are as follows:
Always about .500 OOC & In Conference
In Conference Top 4- 8-10 years
In ConferenceTop 6-9-10 years
Confere Tourney Finals 3-10 years
Conference Tourney Champs 2-10 years
NCAA Tourney 8 of 10 years. 80%
Win in NCAA Tourney 7 of ten years. 70%
Second weekend 3 of 10 years. 30%
No expectations past the 2nd weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
I dont think the above is too much to expect given the money we pay our staff, the facilities, the donations, the non-monetary support of fans and city, the fact that Men's Basketball is our Marquee sport, and we are all in.
Thoughts?
