It's difficult to keep, or even obtain, a reasonable expectation level when a team has had an upward trajectory in the recent past. Couple that with being emotionally involved with the success of LU on the national scene and I'm not sure I can claim to stand on objective ground. So when I evaluate the "success" of this year's team, I am trying to navigate these waters. The start of the season was rough as it seemed clear we were not ready for the big stage. Then we tore through the ASUN schedule and picked up a few impressive wins outside the conference. Our performance in the conference tourney was impressive and I had high hopes entering the regionals. The nice win over Georgia was followed by disappointing losses to Duke and Georgia. It was the way we lost that was disconcerting. Nonetheless, when I think back to the year 2000, my first experience with LU athletics, we have come so far! Perhaps this is the healthiest perspective we should have as we assess the 2022 season.
