Don't get me wrong. I was just talking about the ROI for

NDMBB dollars.

We can and should do waaaaaay better than Shrews. There are roster construction issues, but those seem fixable. I don't see why we can't be a consistently solid team, including a reasonable frequency of Sweet Sixteen appearances.

But I also agree with the notion that we could throw every dollar we can find at that program, and "consistent Sweet Sixteens" is going to be the ceiling. MAYBE we sneak into the 8 every once in a while. And considering financial resources are ultimately finite, I don't really care if we make 3 vs 5 Sweet Sixteens each decade.

But we absolutely should be putting a competent basketball team on the floor, and that is not currently happening.
