Grimes wasn’t a complete bust, but def didn’t live up to the billing.

The even bigger busts may have been the transfers who averaged double digit points at other schools but couldn’t even crack the rotation here.

And it sounds strange, but while Lagerald had a weird year, one could also argue his year went about as well as anyone could have expected.

Loosing Dok was the death blow. And I think we woulda kept the streak going if we at least had Silvio.

It was a perfect storm of fail.
Yet we still did better than 95% of all D1 schools did last year.

I sure thought so at the time, based on what he'd flashed in 2017-2018. But, woof, now I'm not so sure!

Also it's pretty remarkable how many times since 2012 ( 7! ) that we've had a top 5 toughest schedule.

Not everyone is good at math, so I want to point out that you averaged our SOS rankings. Which is not the same as saying there are 27 teams who've had tougher schedules in that period of time. My guess is an average SOS of 28 over those 15 years would place us in the top 5, if not top overall.

The end result was a product of still benefiting from good wins in November. Full strength all year, that team was as good as any. If you had no Dok and no Vick from the get go, you're looking at a year comparable to UNC's this season. No way did the team that entered the tourney deserve a 4 seed.

I didn’t say that 27 teams had tougher schedules. I just said we average the 28th SOS which yes, might be one of the highest.

A had a longer response than this but, at the very least last year, he woulda been an upgrade over Mitch. Just like was as a half semester freshman the year before.

He's shown me nothing this year to make me believe he'd have been an upgrade over Mitch or effective playing alongside Dedric.

He looked good as a lone big surrounded by Graham Newman Svi and Vick. I think it's safe to say that he greatly benefitted from those players and he hasn't been nearly as good without them.

NCAA released current 1 and 2 seeds. Baylor, Kansas, SDS and Gonaza the 1s. Duke, Dayton, LVille and West Va the 2s

He's gotta be gone if they don't make the NCAA tourney...an NIT or lower invite should have him fired.

Not sure who I want to win/lose the Heel/Devil game.
I say that thinking about Roy's and K's post game pressers and who would be more entertaining with an L.
