I keep hearing "bubble team" "bubble team". Are they setting us up to fail? Why does ESPN love Ohio State basketball

I keep hearing “bubble team” “bubble team”.
Are they setting us up to fail?

Look, Thad didn't cover his ass. We'd be in the same boat if Conley had been seriously injured and unable to play the season. And nobody in their right mind would be placing any blame on him. If you must blame someone (and really, with Spring Practice closing in, I don't care enough to feel bad about the Basketball team) blame Matta for not building the team to minimize the loss of his PG. And lest you think I'm being a whiny bitch, let me remind you of a little ditty: <i>Drive! Drive on down the field; Men of the scarlet and gray; Don't let them thru that line, We've got to win this game today, Come on, Ohio! Smash thru to victory, We'll cheer you as you go; <b>Our honor defend</b> So we'll fight to the end For Ohio.</i> Whether you intended to, or not (I think you didn't) you questioned Conley's honor. Pardon me for defending it. “The sad truth in this year’s debacle is that Mike Conley fucked us when he left last year”

What if Conley blows out his knee during the BT tourney last year. And re-injures it in Dec. Then what? Would lay blame at his feet? I get your point, but there are better ways to say "we were hurt by not having a true point guard" without dissing the integrity of a player that did nothing but bring joy to our lives.

I'm not down on Conley's decision or him, I'm simply stating the truth that Thad had recruited and prepared the program for Conley being around for a second season. When he made the decision to turn pro, the right decision for him or any young man in that situation, it really hurt the program because Thad had Noopy for the 2008-2009 season, but didn't have another option at PG beside Butler. Dan,
