The four C's - Cobb, Crawford, Curletti, and Capocci - have to become the 
four A's next year - their play, that is.  IF Crawford finally becomes the 
dominant player everyone keeps saying he should be and IF Cobb does a 
Shurna-like improvement from frosh to soph year and IF Curletti and Capocci 
play off the bench as they did in the last portion of this season and not 
like the rest of this season and IF all of them can remain healthy, then we 
can get into the tourney as a bubble team.  IF all that happens and IF we 
obtain a good center, we could vie for the conference title and be a sure 
tourney selection.  Those are more IFs than Rudyard Kipling could handle, so 
I'll hold the celebration until I see it happen.

Yep, Carmody gets one more year - at least.  Only time will tell whether 
that is good or bad.
