RIF, I am not bitter at all about this season.RIFan wrote: ↑1 year agoSGreenwell wrote: ↑1 year agoI think with the talent level of this team, there's an argument to be made that we probably should have lost more games by 20+ points, instead of just two (Kansas State, UMass). KenPom has us at the 284th "luckiest" team, and at least in his rankings, we're more in the territory of teams with 11 to 14 wins. Ultimately, I don't think 8 wins vs. 14 means much, but I do think Miller is wringing the most he can out of this roster.RIFan wrote: ↑1 year ago Losing 10 games by less than 5 seems like poor coaching to me. If you were that close how come you didn’t win some of those? If we started to win some of those close ones as the season went on then you could say we have something to point to, but that didn’t happen. I seem to remember a lot of people thinking we’d were going to be a better/different team as we got to mid-Jan, but we never really improved enough to make a difference.
That may well be the case, but I seem to remember us being up in most of the games we lost, only to go into a 5+ min scoring drought that ended up doing us in.
Hey, I hope you’re right and Archie got the most out of this group of America East recruits and when he has enough time to recruit and land players that should be in P6 conferences like Dan did we will be good. I guess we will be good when we are good. Duh!
I didn’t realize how bitter I am at this season until now. It may be my inability to see signs of life and things coming together.
I had no expectations so wins and losses really didn't matter that much to me.
The first season of a major rebuild is always a work in progress and filled with disappointments.
Anyone who thinks differently is just looking through rose colored glasses.
The whole situation and loss of Bray is a set-back, because pre-season everyone here felt he was going to be a major piece going forward, but he isn't irreplaceable.
Next year will be key as to see how these players develop, a glimpse of our recruits, and who else Archie adds to fill out this roster.
