Wildhack is on the Clock

[FRANKIEFAN]

I'm holding out hope that the Texas game shows us something we aren't expecting.

When Red just kept adding bodies this summer it was pretty clear hes just guessing and there would be no cohesion.

I think we have rebounding and 3 point shooting. PF and C likely much better than what we put out next couple seasons. Get average play from the guards and this team could be 21-22 wins. ACC isn't great. I know positive posts aren't welcome but I'd rather have absolute stinkers early and survive them.

I’m not going to overreact after only two games, but in this new age of the portal it doesn’t take 4 years to build a roster. Everyone on this current roster was brought in by Red.

Red needs to identify a system of basketball that works in the new world of college basketball. I hope he can do it, but I don’t think it’s a given to assume he’ll get a minimum of 4 years.

How many years did Dino get?

Bollocks. In 2024, it takes closer to 4 weeks than 4 years to get "your guys" into the programs.

You talk like we have an unlimited checking account. We have a Christmas fund and a change purse, relative to the big guys.
In our peer group, we are a small market team.
If you want to throw in a million a year to help, that’s a start.

Regarding the well we still won posts.

The Average P4 team has won these level of games at margin of 26 points per game so far this year.

Being 46 points below the average P4 team in the first 2 games will hurt our NET by somewhere between 8 to 13 spots by season end.

Is it stupid that these level of games impact NET so much … certainly can be argued that way. But the system is the system.

It is true that if we somehow get back to the bubble it becomes more an analysis of quality wins and losses, than your individual NEt. But a 6 or 7 in front of your NET can certainly lead to biases in analysis of wins and losses.

Then again I’m not sure how this team will get to the bubble team level .. but can’t give up.

Only took two games for people to start parroting misinformation about how NET works, impressive!

They use NET to rank your wins, not your team. Not sure how people still aren't grasping this.

I'm not sure if you are pointing the finger at me in terms of spreading misinformation or not understanding the process. Perhaps I am misreading your post.

Because there is no misinformation in the post above and I think I understand the process pretty well. I have said many times the selection is ultimately an analysis of your quality wins and and bad losses (this is the 3rd time in this thread alone) and your standalone NET is a very minimal factor, if at all, in the selection process. However, if its in the 70's it can create biases optically against you - and games like the first two are the ones that really sink your NET even if you have decent wins and losses..

Here's the thing. Autry had an entire off season to get a legit PG to portal over but failed miserably. And now we find ourself clueless with no identity offensively or defensively. Furthermore, this team has no fire. Very painful to watch them half ass it up and down the court.

Babers mixed in a few really good years amongst all the mediocrity.

It's the bane of athletic directors everywhere trying to figure out if the glimmers of hope are real or mirage. Wildhack has done a great job so far, hopefully he nailed it with both major revenue sports. The jury is still out on both coaches.

Besides 2018 what years were you considered really good?

Maybe plural "good years" was overstating things.

Overall, lots of mediocrity with moments where it looked like the corner might be turned.
