I think we'll spend some time this year on the 1 line, depending on when we drop games and to who, but ultimately end up a 2 or possibly a 3 seed. Again, depending on timing of both wins and losses. I'd love to end the regular season strong as a 1 but conference is tough and teams are hard to beat a second time. And of course...then there's the conference tourney.
We are very good but not going go undefeated. The wku game doesn't sway me much either way other than I'm glad it's behind us. Our d will win us games soon. We're very close to clicking on that side of the ball, imo. We all love points and a powerful offence but defense is what will set us apart from several very good teams late in the year. The pieces are there but still learning the system, speaking generally.
Looking forward, can you imagine how good we will be when we have stud athletes everywhere, in this system, on both sides of the ball? Like...how good would say Duke be with a stud coach and this system? The idea just takes me back to the 96 and 97 teams where we were loaded, played a similar style and the teams got better late in the year.
The very best teams seem to always have a switch that flips on at tourney time.
