With three left:
1. Pure three point shooter (40ish%+) not necessarily lead scorer
2. 2-3 lead scorer
3. 6’10” plus rebounder/shot blocker/defender
all have to be able to make free throws
I think it is fine to worry, but a defensive squad like we had the last several years usually isn’t the most talented team on the court every night anyway. We shall see. I would say last year we lacked a true go-to guy. Need that this upcoming season.
A 15 win Minnesota gets you excited? An Oklahoma St team that also won 15 games in the regular season and ended with a losing record?
We lost to every team that could have bolstered our record for the selection committee. Super happy we won the games we did, but mostly lost the games that really mattered - just like football. That Indiana win in 2011 and the 2018 Arkansas win didn’t do much for football either. An average or a bad team is just that, even if P4. We have to win against top teams to be a top team.
I would rather be the sort of good team that we are than a crappy team (like Minnesota or OkSt) but we won’t take the next step until we win big games again. Mac did that. Hodge didn’t.
