Lose what is clearly your best scorer and still make it to the NIT and have a winning record? With all the youth on the team I personally would have been optimistic
Wow, really?
Yes, really
I meant to add more to that, sorry.
I'm just in disbelief that 4 wins would've completely changed everyone's tune much. I mean, If Webster's jumper against Clemson falls, If Watson doesn't slip against Ohio State, If we grab a board against Rutgers, if Morrow can make a free-throw against Wisconsin.... There is your 16-15 record. You're telling me the pitchforks would be gone? I don't buy it. Maybe in your case, but this board would still be on fire as a whole.
It would only be Miles' 2nd winning season in his tenure here, coming off of a 16-18 season. So yes, it would be positive progress.
