We are at 1 bad, which is extremely relative, season. It's June 2nd. We don't even know if the roster is done yet. A second season like 2023, I'll worry. A season like 2022, and with it a conference title, not so much.
Somebody got their Wordpress in my Twitter.
There is also a spin cycle. Coaches are going to promote their kids. A point guard from Europe has elite skills. He just needs to be Fletched. He is making amazing progress.
no, splains why we were better 3&4 years ago than the last 2 years. We're not a blue blood (yet)
Disagree. Personally, it would take the team getting to the Elite 8 w/o a reg season title to equal a season in which we win the BT reg season title but progress only one or two games in the tourney.
This is new territory with so much talent. The pg by committee might actually work if everyone buys in. There’s also enough defensive prowess to erase some offensive miscues so there is hope. At the very least, we’d get a lot of national attention with this lineup. All eyes would be on what Underwood can do with the talent.
He would be the 2….
So if we had a slightly worse 2021, say we went 14-6 and tied for second, and had our exact same 2022 where we went 15-5, you all would chill the f out because the trend was better? 2021 was one of the best seasons in program history. 2022 was a really great season. Both were wildly successful.
Yeah it is. I thought Williams waiver was rumored to be denied tho?
If Williams is healthy and can still guard like a btch I am on board!
I don't think so. He never actually played last season; so it is likely to be approved.
He is a better athlete than your giving him credit for. I watched him make some very explosive athletic plays dunking the ball. People said someone that left wasn't athletic either but he vertical jumped 39.5. I would freaking be estatic if we had that athletic shooter at pg.
I guarantee you can't. No point guard, no tournament success. If it turns out one of Williams, DGL, or Moretti can be a stable point guard this year, then okay. Right now there's still a gaping hole and a hope. Maybe Rodgers takes a big leap.
As others have alluded to, I would be surprised if his waiver was denied since he didn’t play a single game at Iowa State. If it is, though, or if he’s just not healthy, I think Harmon starts instead. Unless we want to start Ty and sort of have a point guard by committee approach.
This is a little bit of an exaggeration. Of course 2021 team was a better team (they got a 1 seed for a reason), but to back that season (w/o Ayo) with a B1G Regular Season Championship in 2022, is a complete success for the program. The lack of NCAA Tournament success will be the lone downside of these two seasons. Through that lens, both of these teams were a disappointment, and therefore, I cannot say that 2021 was significantly better than 2022, as they ended in the same result in tourney (2nd round exits...one more disappointing than the other). However, I will look back at both of these seasons with nothing but smiles for what was achieved, and some sighs about what could have been.
He shot 40% from threes- I don’t want him passing the ball! Agree he isn’t the PG
