Before we get too deep in, let me mention that from what we've seen so far this year, a reasonable goal and, perhaps, expectation would be an NIT bid.
Mike is bringing a lot of firepower. I enjoy watching this team. I believe CJP when he says we'll get better as the season goes on.
I also think there's not enough firepower elsewhere yet, we'll see a lot of inconsistency all year long, and we don't yet have a head of the snake on defense, dragging our efforts on that end.
Just wanted to put that out there because I'm sure, if we struggle tonight against a very talented, ranked team, there will be plenty of ******* "fans" hemming & hawing how we're the ****tiest team on Earth, probably squeezing in an under-the-radar potshot here and there at some of our players.
Those same ******* "fans" will be the ones who overshot the mark on what reasonable expectations for this team should be. That, of course, is on them.
On that note, enjoy the game & Go Jackets!
