And it's not weird to expect greatness every year. Maybe we should expect to suck like football. It's worked great for them

You know I love you brother, but this team is sooooo lacking in maturity and seasoning that anyone who can't see this is a huge transitional year has been swallowing way too much brown and gold kool aid. No, I don't expect greatness for this year's hoops team any more so than I expected it for Bohl's football team.

They weren't even great last year, in fact, they were pretty mediocre for much of the season and then overachieved in the MWC tournament.

I love my Pokes, but I'm also an objective realist too.

Well I do expect greatness. I get that they're young and immature. But the other night showed that this team, when hitting shots, can score a ton. We will have a 50/50 in every game this year depending on which team shows up. That's the reality this year.

They played a cupcake for crying out loud!

like i've always said, Cupcakes have candles too!!!

Have there really been that many people with really high expectations for this season? I haven't paid attention.

This team will win some games and I think be pretty competitive especially by the end of the season, but it is clearly a rebuilding year. Shyatt has done a great job of getting a dumpster fire off the ground and to the NCAA in a few years. A minor rebuilding year isn't that big of deal. We need some help down low so hopefully that will materialize by next year.

This team will have to shoot well to win. Even hitting 34% of the 3s and 70% of the FT would have made this game much closer if not a win. FWIW, 34% from 3 and 70% on FT were about our averages last year. We'll shoot better and still have an okay season; certainly nothing as bad as pre-Shyatt.

Rebuilding seasons happen and aren't a big deal as long as there has been significant progress. I'd say there has been plenty of progress.

The only person calling for NCAA's this year is Beaver and if I understand him correctly, I took it to mean "at teh start of every year the NCAA's should be your goal, to shoot for anything else is giving up." Yet Dino acts like he is the only one with the sense to temper expectations this year.

This season is gonna be fun to watch the growth of the team. This game was dissapointing but not unexpected. THe team shot horrible and shot too many 3's. Maybe they will start making them and we will love the amount of 3's they shoot. I think they will adjust and start attacking the rim more. This was the teams first road trip and we are suprised they didn't play well. If we had made the easy layups we missed we would have been within a couple baskets. This team will have up and downs enjoy the ride.
People drawing conclusions after one game is silly. It was silly last year when we over reacted to each individual game and that was a veteran team. Its even sillier to over react to this young team after each game.

The team will either need to shoot far less threes, or make more. It's not rocket science. I get frustrated with this offense from time to time too, but it's a young team that is going to take some lumps. Shyatt has earned my trust.

rly: !!! Really! This is amazing your +1 this when I've been the one that has gone back and forth with you since you first said NCAA a few months before the season even started!

Amazing, I watch myself disappear behind others in arguments that I was the main opponent in... And I only continued after you started busting my chops for predicting we only win 14 games.

Oh well. I guess it is what it is.

You seriously wait for me to post don't you?

Get it through your head bud, I don't give a single fuck what you have to say to me.

Again, not even bothered to read your crap as I know that every time I post, you come crying looking for a fight.

Thanks for staying true to the theory though! :thumb:
