People melting down here coming off a total rebuild and a zero-win big east team yet teams like Uconn and Syracuse not doing much better at all and these are teams that were pre-season top 25 or cusp... We still have to add pieces. We have Lovett out and just lost Sima. Sima might not have been a game breaker but he was big and was depth this season, with shotblocking ability.
We simply aren't a compete team yet. We have some excellent freshmen guards and a very nice JUCO forward, but to blame everything on horrible coaching is a stretch to me. As far as coaching goes, we definitely should be better defensively. We are awful there and it is our main problem. Our offense is light years ahead of what we have had on offense for decades. Our interior play is nonexistent. Thst won't change without a talent upgrade, these guards will still be here but we need PF/C types that can score snd defend.
