How about some optimism...

There was definitely nothing wrong with our noncon schedule.

The guy was saying we should schedule blue bloods because KU and other blue bloods do. Well our program is in a slightly different place than those schools. If we had their constant history of success I would be for it, but we were a team coming off a 2 win season.

So should we still be optimistic?

Sure.

Showed some energy toward the end tonight and Saturday is winnable.

Right. To pile on, those blue bloods do it for TV. TV wasn't reaching out to us for those matchups, for good reason.
We didn't schedule as weakly as I expected. We played some weak teams, we played some good teams. We beat all of them, so I've got no complaints at all.

Plus nobody really good is going to come to Hilton and if they would they would demand 2 games at their place for 1 at ours.

Exactly, so we'd be tied into something like another United Center game against Duke. If we're a program competing at that level sometime, that would be fun, but that's still a lost home game.
