Many thought this was a team that could make a serious Final 4 run. After what happened last year, anything is possible. But unless there's a huge transformation from our two point guards, it's not happening.
Many underestimated what the team would look like with Howard and Gillon running the team instead of Gbinije. Others overlooked what the top of the zone would look like without Gbinije and Cooney. Yeah, we crucified Cooney at times, but you couldn't measure his intangibles and intensity.
By SU standards, this appears to be an ordinary team. At this rate, probably 20-22 wins in the regular season. The next eight games get easier and almost become must wins. One stumble and we'll find ourselves much like last year -- on the bubble.
Hopeful JB figures it out and the team begins to gel at some point. But concerned the pieces aren't there.
