I know this has been a great year for the bobcats, but just think for a second that this entire team will be back next season.  I could honestly see us as this years VCU and next season I see a legit final four contender.  Jon Groce has done some great things with this university in  just 4 years.  If we continue to progress like we have been then you'll start to see some of those Xavier recruits talking Ohio university.

In order to be legit like you're talking, we have to be able to defend the post well and rebound.  Love this team, but if we had to face UCONN or UNC (as examples) right now, we'd be way over matched in the post, don't you think?

the 3 ball changes everything in college basketball and I think he have enough inside to hold our own vs the bigger teams.   VCU had no legit big man and they made a great run last season.

I thought the same thing 2 years ago right up to us kicking Georgetown's arse.

And I hate to even bring this up, but if this continues the backlash of being a MAC program is in late April/March you'll begin hearing the "John Groce to __________" talk start.

I was wondering when the thread would surface anyway.

With TOS at 1-10, 0-2, is it too early to start the "Groce to Bryant" thread?

Really hope we can keep Groce thru next season.  Unless we fall completely flat on our face, I would be pretty shocked if he was here come Fall 2013.

I don't know which would be more surprising - Ohio making the Final Four or Groce not having unexpected attrition before 2012-2013.
