One Time, One Year Pass

I don't expect any Big East wins this year.  So its quite a curve for me

We will have a few wins in conference. We will no doubt struggle in conference play but we will win at least a few games.

Zero expectations....but with the way these guys can shoot the ball, we can definitely steal at least a few games if the defense comes along.

Enjoying seeing kids develop, but one injury could exacerbate an already challenging task, especially on the interior.

Ball-handling is going to be a major issue against better teams with quicker guards.  Rebounding could be a problem too, though I hope we can make up for the athletic and size deficiencies with hustle, heart and smarts. 

We are going to shoot a lot of 3's, so here is to hoping Durand, Mussini, Ron, Ellison, Williams etc shoot well enough to make the games interesting. 

In addition to the youngsters, really keeping my fingers crossed to see progress with Durand, Williams and Jones in particular.  Maybe Jones, with guaranteed playing time, can surprise us with some rebounding and offense when he is isolated on the foul line.  Maybe Williams and Durand can help carry the load as the season progresses, which was what was advertised.  With expectations low, that is what I'm hoping for.

I am going to enjoy this season so much more by not expecting anything. Everyone but Johnson and Mvouika will be back. Watch the development of Mussini, Sima and Ellison. Combine them with Lovett and Ponds next year, that is a nice foundation.

Other than that, we don't have a point guard. No fault of anyone on the roster, but ball movement and ball handling are major issues.
