I just realized it wasn't the UD administration being overly concerned about the First Four that caused this down year for men's basketball. St. Patrick's day is on a Saturday this year. Can you imagine what would happen if the perfect storm of a Flyer upset victory happened this Saturday? You think Archie leaving was due to the four seniors graduating and the IU job being available? I think not. You think XW decided to play video games on his own? Ryan Mikesell having surgery this offseason? Put it all together and it is very clear why things happened the way they did.
