We're seeing this team come together in a way we haven't

seen all season. And it's happening right at the exact perfect moment. This is still an incomplete team with many vulnerabilities, but right now they're the strongest they've been since the days of sunshiny projections and predictions long ago in preseason.

That doesn't mean that they still couldn't lose their next three games and it would all over. But, right now they are in their best position to perhaps win their next game, make a run in the conference tournament, and maybe, just maybe, make some noise in the NCAA's with all that momentum and confidence behind them.

All that nonsense that Cronin doesn't know what he's doing should be past us, but I know there will always be some know-nothings who will keep spewing their inane ideas for all of us to endure or hopefully just ignore. Cronin is a good coach. Some here may not like his methods or his schemes, but the man can just flat out coach. Those who point to his lack of a national championship just don't really understand the nature of competition and just how very difficult it is. There are many good coaches, there are many great coaches who never came anywhere near a national championship. I believe that a national championship is in Cronin's future. And even if that never happens for him he still has more successes than failures and I see no reason why that won't continue. And if your only standard of success is a national championship or a slick and glib press conference then you really don't know what any of this is all about.
