Perhaps a subject for a different thread, but I'm curious why you think next year will be better. An honest question. You could be correct, I just don't see where the improvements will come from. Individual improvements will be made, but it's likely the top 2 players from this below average time will not be back and these holes won't be filled for next season.
Part me of wants to think we will be better next year and part of me wants to put
by my statement.
1st of all....if do in fact only win 4-5 conference games this year it will probably be against Nebraska and maybe a OSU or A&M at home. We have one decent win against Houston which is in the middle of Conference USA with 9 losses overall. We can't get too much worse than that. So it would be easy to improve on this, but I do see your point about losing your 2 best players off a not so good team.
2nd of all. Sometimes in sports if something is not working and you try to force things it can make you worse. You see this in the NBA all the time when teams get 4 guys together that are good and the team is average to bad. Maybe a new look next year will actually do some good?
3rd of all. If GMAC could go back and watch some old UNI footage of players moving without the ball and playing together like a well oiled machine then we would win some games. Until we start having "real" motion in our offense we will be a bottom dweller. It just kills me that UNI had great success under GMAC and I was saying at the time "I wish ISU moved around like that" Then we get their coach and I get nothing.
Of course this is just my own opinion.
