I'm all for hurrahs on the regular season at this point

by Jay, San Diego, Monday, March 07, 2011, 12:13 (5522 days ago) @ KGB

But what happens if we crap out in the first or second round, like we always have under Brey? I'm not sure the stellar regular season will amount to much at that point. In fact, it may become a millstone. Brey will have had his finest season on record, only to end in the same ignominious way.

    - I don't think that would bother me all that much. - Kevin, 2011-03-07, 17:20
    - It would be an amplified microcosm of his entire tenure. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 12:27
      - serious question - Jay, 2011-03-07, 19:12

        Your reply is a miniaturized macroverse - Dylan, 2011-03-07, 20:12
      - Agree. - Kevin, 2011-03-07, 17:22
      - okay, you made me look it up - Jay, 2011-03-07, 12:58
        
        The fact that we've never been higher than a 5-seed... - KGB, 2011-03-07, 13:53
        
        Goodness..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:20
        
        "acting like Purdue football fans" - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 14:15
        
        We're pretty far off that right now..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:18
        
        I totally agree with your second paragraph - Jay, 2011-03-07, 13:24
        
        Nice drum. - Slainte Joe, 2011-03-07, 13:54
        
        spectacular, spectacular - Jay, 2011-03-07, 14:03
        
        Far better teams than this ND one have lost in the 2nd round - CW (Rakes), 2011-03-07, 13:37
        
        on the other hand, no team has been seeded as high - Jay, 2011-03-07, 13:52
        
        It seems like the diehard fans give Brey more rope. - San Pedro, 2011-03-07, 14:00
        
        They remember the John MacLeod years - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 14:09
        
        Being a season-ticket holder definitely colors my view.... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:04
        
        Good points. - San Pedro, 2011-03-07, 13:45
        
        Amen. Amen I say to you. - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:38
        
        And I agree with yours..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:34
        
        The last two 11/6 games were some poor seeding/bad draws - CW (Rakes), 2011-03-07, 13:16
        
        2007 was a total freakin' hose job. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:00
        
        Geez. And people wonder why some ND fans are wary. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 13:14
        
        Kind of funny. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:43
        
        how many programs match those expectations? - HumanRobot, 2011-03-07, 13:23
        
        Yeah, I was a bit over the top in the way I wrote that. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 13:27
        
        Put it to the test. One Elite 8 every four years? - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 14:04
        
        I'm sorry you did that work. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 14:08
        
        You misunderstood..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:06
        
        This seems about right..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:47
        
        I don't want to be Purdue football fans - Greg, 2011-03-07, 14:11
        
        Coach K's - HumanRobot, 2011-03-07, 13:08
        
        Boy, that was an ugly stretch there prior to last season. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:21
        
        So this year will be the first time ND "should" reach S16. - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 13:02
        
        As with football, I will wait until the season is complete - Joe I, 2011-03-07, 13:33
        
        It's not so much limping as stagnating.... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:36
        
        That is a very good point. - Joe I, 2011-03-07, 13:38
      - Izzo might be the only coach that consistently plays - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 12:37
        
        if you count the years he missed the tournament entirely - Jay, 2011-03-07, 12:40
        
        I'm drawing a fine line here. Maybe too fine. - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 12:51
- I'd take #1 in the West in a heartbeat - Spesh, 2011-03-07, 11:19
  - I'll definitely go to those - Jay, 2011-03-07, 11:33
  - Yeah, I was thinking of a possible quick drive/flight up - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 11:27
    - Even if they go West, ND will almost certainly be in Chicago - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2011-03-07, 11:31
      - You're right on Chi being the likely 1st & 2nd round venue - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 11:51
