Message: [QUOTE="yukonyc212, post: 2081717, member: 7733"] This year is far worse than what the record says. We don't win 9 games if we're in the ACC. This terrible conference has masked many of our deficiencies the past 3 years bumping up our win totals considerably. With that said I don't see any reason why next year we can't win 22 - 23 + games and get back to the tournament. If Gilbert, Larrier, and Ashton-Langford, are as good as advertised along with Jalen we should be fine. There's no reason on paper why we can't compete with Cincy and SMU for the conference title. Villanova plays small ball every year. They never have a Jeff Adrien type crushing people on the blocks and they're the defending champions. If our shooters are good enough we don't need as many rebounds..... that's their philosophy anyways. Their tallest starter is 6 - 7 and Heart is their top rebounder at 6 per game. Maybe with Jalen playing off the ball more will open up the offense for everyone else? How is Ashton-Langford as a 3pt shooter?? However if we see similar results next year as this year than I think a lot of questions need to be asked in terms of the direction of the program. [/QUOTE]
