Mark,
As usual, and I've known you a long time, you may good, cogent points,  
especially about GW.  But I am just not convinced that we are in position  to go to 
the next level.  We never string together long win streaks.   The perfect 
example was when we were 2-0 (2 road wins) to start the Big 10  season and came 
home to lose to Penn State.  That was just crushing.   We finally had a chance 
to build some momentum and perhaps finish with a record  worthy of NCAA 
consideration, but we crashed and burned (for the first, but not  last, time vs. 
Penn State).  If we can't beat the lower echelon hoops teams  in our conference 
at home with a chance to go 3-0, when are we ever going to  make the quantum 
leap necessary to get to the "Dance"?
