To be the underdog is to not be held up to dazzling expectations and shining moments in history. To be the underdog is to be beaten, discouraged and ignored. If Seattle University's men's basketball team expects to make it in DI, they should also expect to remain the underdog for a while longer. They will walk into the spotlight and be shamed. They will dance on the basketball court time and time again, but lose game, after game, after game. Not all is lost in losing, however.
Each time that the bigger team takes the win, SU's basketball team will learn why. In struggling as the underdog, they will see what makes a success versus a failure. The team is proud to climb the division ladder and should remain so as they are shown what it takes to succeed in D1. Surviving as the underdog means struggling with head above water until breaking through with a fresh breath of air.
