I honestly believe that we’ll finish the regular season ranked so it’ll be pretty hard to leave us out.

I think our ACC play gets us in pretty easily. The league isn't that tough. Question is can we get through the non conference gauntlet to be playing games as a ranked team.

Good chance we aren't ready in November and like last years team are out of the tournament before ACC play begins but I don't expect that to happen. I like our players and coach.

99 pct of teams aren't ready in November. You need talent and players making plays to win those tough games early. You then learn and progress more as a team/unit as the season progresses. We have the on paper talent as does most of the Maui lineup. So we have a good fighting chance to get good results.

All depends on Benny and Chris bell

 

[IthacaMatt]

now that mintz is back we dancing??

I think so. I think this team will probably win 20 games.

In reality, one of them has to be good enough to belong out there as a contributing starter.

With all the new faces and new systems being implemented on both sides of the ball, this would have been an opportune summer to have an international summer tour. Oh well...

It’s happening next year. There were some circumstances That the school didn’t feel comfortable with letting the team travel that had nothing to do with them and everything about player and coach safety. It was the right decision.

Judah's return putting us squarely on the bubble shows just how far we had fallen. The return of a late 2nd round pick causing people to get weak in the knees. We need Red to be great...fast.

You know european players and OT/GLI players who dont play NCAA ball are also in the draft right? And that draft rank isnt decided by college production

I think it’s possible but only if we see something like an 2-3 All ACC D performance from Mccleod

 

[OrangeinDC]

We have a very tough schedule. Between Hawaii, Oregon, G-town and the SEC game, 3-3 might be very good. That means 8-3 at best on the OOC games. That puts you on the bubble heading in to the ACC 20 games.

Yup, and those games will tell so much about the team, win or lose.

I know Israel was the rumor but they should really do Spain. Selfishly my favorite European country. Excellent food, people, and basketball.

Judah Mintz might be a borderline NBA player, but he is already a very good major college player. I think he has a chance to be a great one.

Yes, we're weak in the knees, because he'll be in the conversation for player of the year when this season is done, and we really needed that considering the inexperience, inconsistency, and injury issues with literally every other player on the roster.

His last 7 games, Mintz had something click for him... He averaged 19.7 points, 5.1 assists, and shot .579 from three on decent volume against some of the best teams in the ACC. It became his team and he's going to build on it this year.

Judah Mintz is the rock that every other person in the team, including the coaches, can stand on.

Should a just gone to Canada again. It lined up perfectly to get the new coach and team gel. Would have really helped this coming season.

While I think a trip certainly adds value I would say that depending on the changes Red wants to install- there is an argument to be made to spend more time in the gym working hard at it to be as ready as possible with a different system on both ends.

Additionally, having 13 guys and then at least 11 that will be in the mix to contribute- your scrimmages in practice should be as good if not better than what you would get on a trip. Still a trip would have been great. Hopefully next year.

Loved Seville. I need to get back there.
