The Wildcats are looking up a bit.  Coble never looked better than against O-my-we-lostSU.  Even Rowley had a brief flash of glory, something he has not shown all season.  My vote at this point is for Carmody to get one more year at the helm with the non-negotiable expectation that we will be in the NCAAs next season.  If not, it's adios amigo.  Moral victories be damned.  They still add one to the L column.  EXPECT VICTORY!  (I just made that up.  Honest.)

Closing out the season will be rough sailing.  Four of the last five regular-season games are on the road.  If they win three of those, they'll have the league saying, "Watch out!"  Could be an interesting tournament.
