Maybe I'm just a optimist, but I really do feel better about our bball team right now than I did before the MSG games.  We held our own and then some against team that many pick to win their conferences.  Our young team came within a few plays of beating teams that have 3-4-5 returning starters/seniors.  All of our biggest holes seem fixable (free throw shooting, poor decision making/shooting). And most importantly, we still have a few big non-conference games, so unlike last year where we blew our shot at RPI boosting wins in Maui, we have 2 more ranked non-conf opponents in Temple and Nova. 

Am I crazy or do others feel the same way?
