Interestingly enough is that the team finished in conference where it was predicted to finish….5th. 
Yeah the tv guys talked about Cooley having to deal with apathy about the program.

Not trusting the process? We went from 4-1 to losing 8 of the next 10 and going 6-9.
Yeah was sick to my stomach watching our season going down the drain.
It looks like Pitino saved this season after winning our last 5. THANK GOD.

Let's be just a little optimistic Monte.
I would rather hope we can beat Seton Hall on the 3rd try and that we advance to finally beat Uconn........and not have to play in a play-in game.
I said he saved the season.Wasn’t speaking about you.
We were all sick to our stomach. But let’s not pretend Pitino and his players were not capable of possibly saving our season.

Success breeds silence from certain fans hoping that the negatives would come true and make them look like basketball gurus.
Silence of the lambs. Right now we need Jodi Foster to save one of our own
Btw the team went on their run after the post game “ top 3 losses in my lifetime “ rant

Top 3 losses of my lifetime since 87
this gotta be top 3 as far as meaningful games since 1987. At least I have peace of mind now

Now, now, no need to try and drag my man Rasheem's name through the mud yet again after all these years. The man has been maligned enough on this board already!@monte if you can trust the ball in Rasheem Dunn’s hands for 2 years, you can ‘trust the process’ under Rick Pitino in year 1.
Those of us who saw it already know that’s a tough watch!

My comment was said tongue-in-check
I already got us waxing SH, and I think we can even beat UCONN and do some damage in the dance. Let no man say that I am not being optimistic!!Let's be just a little optimistic Monte.

Yeah, they were always capable of saving our season. They had 6 double digit halftime leads in which we blew.
To me that was the worst part about going 6-9, even if they went say 2-4, that's 8-7.
No, we weren't Depaul or even GT at that point, but besides playing some good teams very close, there was nothing to indicate that we'd end the season on this kind of run and finish in 5th place.
Other than some blind faith, with a splash of cockeyed optimism thrown in, I don't see how anyone could have reasonably predicted this.
The road game at Seton Hall was the only game we were non competitive. Every other conference loss was well within reach, if a play here or there goes our way. I would agree it would be blind faith if we were getting smoked on the regular.
"a play here or there..." can make the difference in the record of most middle to bottom of the pack teams. The top teams make those plays which is why they're at the top.
Right now we look like world beaters, hopefully that continues for a while.
