Every program has its ups and down, both within a season and over the years. UCLA was a juggernaut for many years, but this year it is still not a given that they will make the Tournament. Kentucky's latest loss likely will knock them out of the Top 25, which for them is a real blow, given the level of talent they have. The ebbs and flows are all relative, but every program has them.
Little Rock is no different. We had the good runs with Mahfouz, Kestenbaum, Newell, Sanderson, Moser/Shields, and the one year with Beard, but some lean times in between.
One thing about it: loyal Trojan fans are not bandwagon-jumpers - those folks who look for the team in first place and root for them so they can be "winners." We stick with the program, and, thankfully, from time to time we are rewarded by some good stretches with some nice seasons. And it feels doubly good when it happens.
