Message: [QUOTE="benjams77, post: 4962233, member: 1692"] After these last 2 games on the road and Blowout at Wake lets revisit your season expectations. We are 14-8 with no great wins but no sub 100 losses at this point and 1 loss at home. Red is in his first year and he's gonna have to work thru some things. He is playing man which is what everyone wanted and at times its looked good and sometimes really bad. A couple notes/questions I have 1. Yes our roster is not constructed well. We have zero shooters that anyone is afraid of and they pack in to stop our drivers. 2. I've said before we have a major major issue with mental weakness on the team. You can easily tell these players.. When shots don't fall they check out defensively, hence the blowouts. I am questioning JT starting too but I think its prob because he is not mentally weak and may not shoot it well but keeps playing. Those are the guys you win with. Thats where Red is gonna have to shape his roster and he will.. He and his staff are in their first season, overwhelmed some and prob in survival mode. He'll weed out those players this year 3. My questions with the expectations thing is when they were looking at coaches in the offseason many wanted Pitino or Cooley. They have worse records than Syracuse and Cooley has issues too. I get this is a fan board but why are people so impatient with Red. Give it some time. Arkansas coach was a hot name a couple years ago and now hes 11-11. It happens. Sound like Freeman will help us alot and im sure we will hit the portal 4. Yes we need to beat Lville at home. It needs to be a get right game like Chaminade was. Then if we win the other 3 we should, we will be at 18 wins. Possibly get 2 more of the other 5 and we are at 20. Pre season how many wins did you expect?. I would have thought Red would have a nice first year at 20 wins [/QUOTE]
