TBT, when did you start following cats basketball? And be honest. I think that answer is a huge dividing line for expectations between different cats.
And no M^2, it wasn't just wooly, it was Asbury, and Altman's 1 tourney appearance too. All I've ever known growing up is crap bball teams during my cognitive years of living.
Can't tell if you're trolling but this is actually pretty important. i think it definitely plays a part in football for post-Snyder-hire fans....they all seem to have unrealistic expectations due to recent success because that's all they know....or maybe i my expectations are too low given my pre-Snyder experiences.
HOWEVER, i watched the cats coached by Jack Hartman and then Lon Kruger. Through 1988 a case could be made that we were on par with our sister school to the east. We were a basketball power and a delight to watch. Who can forget Ed Nealy??? I digress. if you only know the Asbury, Wooly, Altman eras then oscar probably does look pretty damn good. He isn't.
