I don’t know about the rest of you, but I intend to open a split of the bubbly tonight in celebration of easily the most unexpected (and pleasurable) Championship of the program’s history. Sure I’d be even happier if Darnell hadn’t lost control of that ball on Friday evening, or if these good, hardworking men could make free throws. But the long drought is over! Who would ‘a thought that the team that lost to Fairfield in its opener would go 12-2 in the Ivies, contending all the way. Who would ‘a thought that a coach known for his offensive ideas could produce a nationally-ranked defense. Let’s remember, that for Ivy teams, the big dance is gravy on the meatloaf, not the ground beef. This program has made the clear jump from incompetence to competence and has the clear potential to take at least one more step up. Last year at times, even this year early, I wondered how long it would take to get there – three, four more years? Well, the program IS THERE NOW and clearly has the talent to contend for at least two more years as long as AJ and Ryan stay healthy. They should be better. Wow!
I hope they make us even happier next weekend. I hope that, maybe two of the new arrivals next year turn out. I hope that Devon and Simmons realize their potential. That would be very nice. Doesn’t do a thing to diminish my pleasure over the last four months.
