I have two questions for everyone with about 1/4 of the season in the books...
1.) Now that we've had some ups and downs, how has the team fared according to your PRE season expectations?
2.) Where do you think is a realistic finish for this team the rest of the way?
I know it's early but I'm just curious what people think.
Overall I think that we've exceeded pre-season expectations so far. Many people thought we'd have a losing record and I just think we play way too well at home for that to happen. How good our record is overall will really depend upon our play on the road (this wasn't a good start tonight).
I expected this team to be near .500 and still expect a little above that with the quality of players we have. I never had the delusions that this is an NCAA team but I've also never thought they were going to be bad either. If we can make the NIT (which isn't so bad considering how much we lost due to drafts/graduation), this will be a good "reloading" year.
I guess that leads into one more question. Is respectable good enough? Does regularly going to the postseason satisfy you or does it have to be an NCAA bid (like the Creightons and SIUs of our size)?
