Hopefully, the unusually caustic banter in the football thread will soon end. Although likely a result of an atypically frustrating football season, I don't expect it to carry over to the basketball forum.
Thankfully, we have an excellent staff in place running the basketball program. I expect nothing but continued development throughout the freshman, JV, and varsity levels. The team has improved since last season. I don't know how that will show up in the W-L columns; I'm not going to make any predictions. But we all know the true goal is growth over the upcoming months as teams prepare for the postseason.
My hope is that the fans show up to support the players and staff. Let's pack the gym at our home games, and follow the team on the road as much as possible. They play an entertaining brand of basketball; and they play like a team. Go Bengals!
lchsman: Good luck this season. I look forward to our meeting in a few weeks.
