I don't remember the last time that I have been this fired up for a Marquette basketball season. Perhaps it was the Final Four year. Even when the triplets were seniors, there was all the drama with Crean leaving and Buzz was an unknown. We have a ton of guys that we can throw at people. We have height, athleticism, and better outside shooting. Sure, there will be growing pains at times, but half the fun for me is watching a team gel and improve. I think we are in for a great ride.
One way to make goals is to make one that you should reach, one that is attainable if you push, and one that is a reach. Here are mine for this year's team:
Goal: Make the dance
Attainable goal: Sweet 16
Reach: Big East Conference Champs
