We need to keep some perspective

The Trojans probably will not win 30 games next season, and probably will not beat a Big Ten team in the NCAA tournament, but that would not necessarily mean that their season was not successful. We need to be careful not to hamstring Wes Flanigan before he even gets started. In 1986 we beat Notre Dame, and in 1987 we won 26 games, which before this past season was the program record. Then in 1988 we won "only" 24 games, did not make the NCAA tournament, and lost in the first round of the NIT. Big letdown after the previous two seasons, but still one of the very best seasons in program history. After all, we have had only eleven 20-win seasons in our history.
