Maybe the season opener, like in 2015-2016?

My God that team underachieved so terribly. Very talented

If you think that team should have done more than win the AAC tournament and lose in the NCAA round of 32 to the number 1 overall seed then I dont know what to tell you.

 

[Crank]

Shonn Miller.

They should have won the AAC regular season and not be a Jalen Adams prayer away from going to the NIT.

The problem was the underwhelming regular season that put them on the 8/9 line in the NCAAs.

 

[John]

this is exciting (?)

 

[Guapo]

Yeah honestly that team is perhaps the biggest indictment of Ollie.

They should have done so much more.

OK, I'm going to say it again. Teams with much lower RPIs prior to the AACT got into the NCAA that year. Tulsa, worse record, worse RPI, worse schedule and OOC, lost in 1st round of AACT, they got into the NCAAs. It's a myth that Jalen's shot landed the team in the tourney.

This. No way that team should have had 10 losses in the regular season.

Say it as many times you want they still vastly underachieved in the regular season.

We should've vacated that win against Colorado and kept the scholarship lol

Irrelevant.

Does a play-in game even count as being in the tourney though???

 

[TJT]

Can always count on UConn putting together a powerhouse home OOC schedule.

 

[UofCT]

Irrelevant.

Irrelevant how?

 

[navery12]

Irrelevant how?

Them underachieving doesn't have anything to do with the fact they were in the tournament regardless of Jalen's shot

Exactly. I don't know why others could disagree with that.

That team had Final 4 talent. Gibbs, Purvis, Hamilton, Miller, Brimah with Adams, Facey, Enoch off the bench. I remember the opening game against Maine, both announcers agreed this was a top 10 team.

 

[HooperScooper]

If you think that team should have done more than win the AAC tournament and lose in the NCAA round of 32 to the number 1 overall seed then I dont know what to tell you.

So you think that team's regular season was commensurate with their talent? They should have lost less than 10 games in the regular season and they should have been better than 11-7 in the AAC. Then they wouldn't have had to play Kansas in the 2nd round.

I think thats an overstatement, that team should've been a 4-6 seed.

In retrospect though, these were odd fitting parts.

You had transfers, grads coming over for one year, and a guy who evidently knew he was out the door all along. Not exactly harmonious parts. Gibbs never really took the reins that year like he was expected too.
