"We're Young".............shouldn't we be 1-4?

- Start date
Not until the pressure becomes unbearable at home thanks to our unrealistic and lofty expectations of us fans.
I am always pleasantly surprised when we beat basketball teams we should beat. Give me a couple months and I'll be complaining about how we're dropping games to SEC teams we should be competing with.
You guys that incessantly look for the dark cloud outside the silver lining with our basketball program. We have won the West 4 of the last 6 years and Stansbury has put together the only consistently good program on campus yet the poor mouthing continues. I just don't get it.
bad teams early on? who?
early on, we lost to a ranked Clemson team. Miami of Ohio wasnt a bad team. and Southern Illinois wasnt a bad team. neither of those two were awesome, but they werent bad. both of them made postseason tournaments.
there are 340 D1 programs(i think) out there. all 3 of last season's early losses were to teams that made postseason tournaments. in other words, they were all in the top 1/3 of D1. bad teams?...its all relative, but i dont think so.
I'm not trying to pick a fight, just saying I've been pleasantly surprised with how easily we handled our first 4 opponents. Our average margin of victory was over 30 points. I half expected this team of seemingly all new starters to drop a couple games that they should win. And while last night's game probably shouldn't have been that close, it was actually good to see them win a close one on the road.
