I will leave all the small details on what players should have done or “if we only did this” to other people.
This team is significantly better than last year. Kenpom now predicts we will win 20, up from 18 before the season and we are favored to win 23.
We had a great tournament at 3-1 and played like an NCAA Tournament caliber team 7 of the 8 halfs, which is much better than almost all of us thought we could achieve.
We had a great 1st half against Auburn, which shows we can hang with the best of them. Obviously not the 2nd half we wanted, however they are ranked #14 in Kenpom. We can beat them if we bring our A game.
All 5 starters shined, but not simultaneously.
Great to see how well the bench is playing and expect Burton, Sal and Andre to be big contributors as the year goes on.
The big question mark is injuries, especially Golden. If he can come back quickly we will win 20 to 25 games, finish top 4 in the A10 with a small chance of an at large bid to the NCAA, if we don't win the tournament. I still think we going to NIT.
If Grant is out for extended period it would be major problem.
