I almost put this in the Rienk thread, but thought it fit best here:
I keep coming back to the regular season championship in Peoria.
You, as a player, can take that one of two ways:
1. You can observe how incredible it was and see the growing potential for the team. It shows how Peoria will support a winner. You keep playing for bigger crowds. Sustained success leads to maybe more chances at at large bids.
2. You can observe how incredible it was and think that might be a once in a lifetime thing because of how big of a deal that one game was. You achieve this incredible thing and ... you still don't even get a NCAA tournament bid. You don't even get a NIT home game against a team you clearly had a better season than other than in name recognition.
I don't know a single player personally as most of us on here don't, but I worry that I might have misjudged how many fall into camp one and how many fall into camp two.
