I can live with this positioning out of the gate
Why didn't he include Howard Washington as part of the bench?
We strongly endorse this statement.I don't.
But 3 months of data is more valuable than two weeks of data.
He also didn't include Braswell under Key Newcomers
We strongly endorse this statement.
Medcalf is terriblemyron medcalf of the evil 4 letters also has su at 16, and 5th among acc teams
On the other hand, we lost many very close games last season. So add another decent couple of scorers/offensive threats (Carey and Hughes), a healthy backup center with post skills (Sidibe) and more experience all around, and that could add another 4-5 wins to our conference record.I know people are geeked up about returning everyone from a sweet sixteen run and reasonably so. I am too!
But the other side of that coin is that we had a regular season that gut us barely into the tournament. Which is probably a better barometer than two weeks in March.
I like 16. Higher than weve been in a while but still plenty of room to climb.
Sidibe is the key to this team's potential, IMO.8-10 in conference playing with (quite literally) no bench.
This season SU's bench should have both quantity and quality - especially if Sidibe is healthy.
They also won quite a few close ones. That knife cuts both ways and you can't "add" wins based on close losses and keep the close wins, too. Expected outcomes in games decided by less than two possessions should probably be about 50/50.On the other hand, we lost many very close games last season
They were a fantastic group. I really loved them.Its all about this...
The rest is just rhetoric.
What a turnaround job!
