Disappointing end

[Buesch N Chips]

I thought it humorous the number of different reasons posters put out every time BU lost a game this year. The 'whatever' one was my personal favorite.

So you are saying someone blamed Paul Herzog for a loss.

Roy and Dana have never finished top 3 in their league?????

Good point, but I'm just trying to say that any coach can have a bad year or two.

Where has Florida's Billy Donovan been the last three years?

From preseason posts BU should be very successful this year since they returned the most offense in the MVC this year, to, just wait until the season is over before commenting on BU MBB coaching performance (which apparently isn't the case if the comment isn't positive), posts can be funny when looked at in retrospect.

In all fairness, I never said Bradley was an NCAA Tournament team this year. NIT, yes. I expected that, but unfortunately we did not get there. But we were maybe three 1 or 2 point losses away from an NIT birth and an 11-7 conference record, so I do think we are very close. It should not take a huge additional amount of effort for this team to get to the next level next year though.

Sounds exactly like what we were hearing last year.

Thats ONE way to look at it but how many 1 or 2 point wins were we away from being a play in team? Those "close" games can swing BOTH ways.

In the end you ARE what your record says you are.......

I think some were expecting the NIT last year, but we did have a pretty young team with some injury bugs last year. I was not sure if we were even an NIT team last year, but I thought we would be this year, that much I admit.

It would be ashame if we don't even make the NIT next year, but I really don't think that will be an issue. I really think this team will be an NCAA or strong NIT caliber team next year, and I will expect nothing less than that.
