As tough as I am on this program, I am also a super fan full of love and appreciation for HU hoops! I desire greatness for this program, but also felt it is important to acknowledge the clear efforts, the true care, and another winning season with the honor once again to watch some incredible all-conf talent. Can/Should never take these years for granted!
So, prior to the CAAT, let's have some fun and give thanks!
Thank you to the staff for bleeding HU, and working your butts off to right this program and produce one that is expected to win!
Thank you to the players for repping HU to the fullest as high quality students and athletes, and for putting your heart and soul into this program this year!
And finally, a moment of gratitude for the teams HU is NOT lol - yes, HU can and should be better, but boy it's always good to remember things could be worse

- The one-time perennial top 10 powerhouse PITT is 0-18 in the ACC. OUCH.
- Oklahoma with the national POY candidate and one of the few guys scoring more than JWF this year tanked - 7-10 in conf, 17-12 overall, likely won't even make the dance now

- Fordham and Rutgers are still the bottom of their conferences.
- Once a rock steady mid level program who I remember always being good, UNC-Charlotte is 1-16, 5-23.

- Tulane, where Rok almost ended up: 5-12, 14-15
- Georgetown, you all know my thoughts here with Govan: 5-12, 15-13 - dance-less again
- St Johns - next to last, 4-13, 15-15
- San Jose St and NW State: both are 1-16, 4-24
- And there are many others!
So, THANK YOU HU!! Now, it's GAME TIME fellas, you know what to do - give em hell down there, shock the conf, cut the nets, and bring back some champion hardware!
