JL and mental toughness

[lefty]

DC....I understand where LB comes from. 44 wins the last twoyears is very inpressive. But I think headed in the right direction is pretty accurate. When we win the MVC and/or the conference tourney then we are at the top.

Also if we don't ever get higher then 4-5 in MVC then we will have very few chances to get in NCAA tourney.
I think we will...we HAVE to to be where JL wants us to be.

I think if you asked JL...he would say we headed in the right direction

[Da Coach]

OK. I'll buy that. But I like where Bradley has been for the last 2 seasons and where they appear to be headed the next few seasons as well. Really, only SIU has achieved greater overall successes the past 2 years than BU. I think we are now among the top MVC teams, and we'll stay there.

This is exactly what I mean. We have done great things the last two seasons but we need to keep going. 22 Wins is fantastic but winning the Valley would be better. When we talk about consistantly being at the top of the Valley, I measure it by our regulare season Valley wins and the Valley tournament finish. Please dont take this the wrong way, I think Coach Les is doing a great job and I am happy with were the program is going but I think even Coach Les would agree we are not quite there yet.

I like where we have been as well

I think this is another key year like a couple of years ago....the Sweet Sixteen year. A couple of new coaches and several new players will be challenging to establish chemistry but I'm confident BU will be toward the top of the MVC when it's all over.

This is a key year for BU like a couple of years ago. With 2 new coaches and several new players, establishing chemistry will be challenging but I am confident JL and crew will pull it together by the start of conference season
