Obviously things may have changed since then but I always thought that was a pretty good sign that we may be in the next wave if expansion did happen.

I certainly hope that's the case- and we can't wait too long to become relevant again in the NCAAT. Archie did wonders for this program's profile, and despite having completely different strengths I am thinking Coach Grant will regain the momentum quickly. Many of us just do not appreciate the importance of being in the BE with our natural peers.
