When the program does something we haven't done before, I will consider it progress. Win a NCAA tournament game (that is the teams goal this season). Deep run in the NIT, beat a named team on the road, win a game that we are 5+ point underdogs. Our depth has improved yes, but I'm ready for some results. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, the rest is just marketing fluff. I'm hesitant to get super excited (although it's hard not to), when mac basketball this year is pretty weak. Back to the topic, if Akron can somehow upset Columbus in the tournament, Joe Akron would have to take notice. I think that would be a program changing win. Odds are a million to one at the end of February, but it's fun to dream once in awhile.
