rico Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I anticipate another year of suckiness. Anything better than the sh*t show I saw last year will be much appreciated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 (edited) My expectations and wants are kinda cross contaminating at this point, but this coach will be in season 4, and it is what it is. I expect/ want 1-3 in the conference, at least final 4 of B1G tournament, and Sweet 16. I also expect not to have multiple double-figure losses, and also to steal a few on the road in places we usually don’t win. Kohl Center would be top of the list, if we play there. Assimilating the Pac12 teams in to the conference will be a wild card, but I hope we make a good showing vs new competition, or risk sliding further into obscurity. Expectation would be that 10+ losses would mean a new coaching staff as well, but until we start playing and winning ( or losing) games, I will lay off of them now because we are all in on next season.

Anything less would be a failure. They will easily be one of the three most talented teams in the B1G. Not to mention 2 other “5 star” players - Reneau and Tucker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyeCowbell Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 This might not be an expectation, but more of a strong desire: I would love SSAH to be an intimidating venue for opposing teams again. No more getting punked on our own floor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 To me the only expectation is exactly what Woodson said from day one. Win Big Ten titles and compete for Natty. God only knows we're backing up the Brinks trucks for these guys and Woodson. Think it's time they earn it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put an exciting, competitive team on the floor and AH will pop eardrums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely on the team to hold court and make other teams fear playing here. No more Harper-esque antics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both McD AAs, plus if they land Carlyle, former top 50 and HM all Pac12. That’s ridiculous talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 We won't know what they have until the games start. On paper (I know) they are starting to look solid. As of today, we don't know it they can guard anyone. We don't know if anyone can consistently shoot from the perimeter. We don't know if Malik is capable of defending without fouling. We don't know if anyone other than OB wil attempt to rebound the ball. We think they found a point guard, and we think they have a physical presence inside. Too many questions today. The plan should be get the talent first. That's a work in progress but so far it's looking good. Then see if the coaches have a clue on how to use the talent. CMW gets credit for taking steps to rebuild. But if they don't defend next season and still can't shoot, he's got to go. Spending too much to get poor results. Season four is make or break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I'll have to see how things play out this Spring, Summer, and Fall before making any guesses. I feel like this thread is a cousin of the FMW thread so we can hash and rehash the same stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I am hopeful we will pickup a couple of shooters! I don’t know what to expect from Jaki Newton. If we do that I expect a top run at the Big Ten an a deep run in NCAA tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
