Hey RuffRider,

You're correct. We haven't played college basketball. But as a fellow alum, I think I'm entitled to expect more from my school's basketball team. As for the Zags, they gained national exposure thanks to their magical run to the Elite 8 a few years back. They took advantage of that run to recruit better prospects. This is where SCU failed in the Nash-era. They did not take advantage of this time in terms of recruiting when we were in more of a national spotlight. There is no magical formula for success. But when you look at college basketball as a whole...not just the WCC, having the right people running your program can turn your team from also-rans into contenders overnight. Case in point, the job Randy Bennett is doing at St. Mary's. We do not hate Dick Davey on this board. We think he's a good coach. But we are tired of the mediocrity that has hovered over the SCU program for some years now.

By the way, JCard is right. The city of Spokane lives and breathes Zags basketball because there is nothing else out there.
