[QUOTE="pressvirginia, post: 129495272, member: 1348623"] wvpaper is right. like a movie trilogy, in college hoops, you're playing the long game. Part I, the non-conference: 11-2. Won Vegas, nothing in the bad loss territory. Part II, BXII: 6-2 so far. Tied for 1st in the No. 1 RPI league. Ws include 1 Kansas, swept top 50 RPI K-State, won at Texas Tech. Part III, March: ?
