This team is probably not a top four team in a down A-10. The league may not be very good but Rhody is not very good as well. I see a mid pack team that will win 10-11 conference games which is far below what is needed for the NCAA. This team and staff were very overrated. They do not have the talent, drive, desire, attitude, or coaching acumen for success at an NCAA type team level. They are not bad but not great. They are slightly above mediocre. It is what it is - another year without an NCAA invite. You have to begin to question the wisdom of all the money spent on men's hoops in Kingston given the lack of results (NCAA). We might as well compete in the America East if never going to the tournament is ok.
Key word in this, to me, is desire! They do not see to have any desire, do not seem hungry at all. They seem like Team that is going through the motions. No spark! It is rather pathetic in my opinion. The talent is there but something is very amiss.
