For all the complaining about our offense by basically...90% of the people on the board, our offensive efficiency is actually in the top 25% of all of college basketball (77 of 364).

Are we not going to lose 6 of our top 8 again this year? 
I am not disappointed with the result this year overall I suppose. I am, however, disappointed in the team’s massive scoring droughts at times. I would put that on the head coach. And it kept the team from getting to the next level. And that level is the same as last year, despite the higher win total. 

I am just saying that runner up in the regular season and a semifinal exit isn’t going to get it done medium to long term. Unless your expectations are low, I think the program overall has reached a point where fans should expect Tourney appearances every 3-4 years or so, and then regularly. 

It's certainly possible.  There has been talk about Jasper having 1 more year of eligibility due to the new JUCO eligibility rules, and obviously Brenen's & Grant's eligibility are not up...   Having those 3 back would be huge.

But, even if not, and we lose all of those guys, Coach Hodge has now proven he can dip into the portal and grab guys who can mesh and win immediately.   He set that standard himself.   He'll need to live up to that expectation moving forward.

Our strength of schedule is also pretty weak. Our SOS going by opponent NET rankings is 140 total and 119 in OOC games.

Should I really be impressed by a 77th ranked offensive efficiency against the competition we played?
