My expectations are not higher than normal with this squad. I had higher expectations in '16 and '20 than I do for this team. My expectations going in to '15 were less.

That's probably a better way to put it (putting a seed on it). Certainly need to be a competitor for the league chip and in the tournament.


My expectations for this squad are pretty equal to what they were for 2020. No one can say they knew Udoka and Dot (and even MG) would be that good in Summer 2019.

I was pretty bullish on both Dot and Dok (probably more based on fandom than trying to claim some basketball expertise).

This team, for me, feels more like how I felt about the '19 squad going in (and going in I thought '19 would be better than they ended up). But there are a lot of new players, and a lot of unknowns.

What I cannot handle is another non competitive, March blowout to a quick but not amazing team. 2 in a row of those is more than enough for the next couple decades.

IMO, the single most important player is Remy. If he's a baller and able to score but also facilitate a bit more than he has before, then this team could be looking at #1 overall seed come March. We know what we have with a majority of the returners and we know a big weakness last year was PG play -- Remy is the engine. If he's as good as we think, it opens the floor for Dave/OA/Braun/Wilson.

A 4 seed and we burn down McCarthy Hall.
