[QUOTE="idoc13, post: 1359260, member: 10749"] Not really sure what people were expecting this year... It doesn’t seem realistic to expect a tournament appearance after years of not getting there, especially when some key players transferred. Our freshman guards are very talented. They are young and are going to make mistakes. We allow opponents to get to the rim at will. No upperclassman are taking leadership roles, which is disappointing. Alstork and Finke need to be way more consistent. Gotta recruit more talent, especially bigs. I hate saying wait a couple years, but that’s really what we need to do. This is a rebuild. Year 1: play the young guys, deal with the frustration, maybe go .500 Year 2: squeak into the tournament, at least get on the bubble and be competitive Year 3: make the tournament easily, hopefully win a few games [/QUOTE]
