Imagine playing for a coach that encourages an extreme form of nepotism, who's teams consistently fade, underperform in the NCAAs and acts like a complete jerk.

Well, he's got a 1-0 lead in Sweet Sixteens. Must have been at it longer though, right?
And one who coaches his own son to play dirty and start fights.
Looks like he got it right for number 500! A landslide win without best player. Keeping perspective is important. Realizing in ncaa tourney last year Wisconsin would have lost to anyone that day. They actually shot worse than the cyclones last game.
guard play against iowa was poor overall. #3 played his normal game; but he's not an outside shooter. Gives you a steady 6-10 a game. The other guys lack confidence. It got to a point they were just relieved to hit the rim. Gabe will give you that one or two games a year where he's on fire, but mostly a defender. Holmes & Grill roll players being forced into being the man; hopefully they can figure it out; or it will be a long season.
The Iowa game was much closer to what I was expecting this year to look like.
UNC game gave me some false hope I’m afraid.

You expected to routinely lose by 20 and not be competitive at all this season?
Yes haha every opponent will shoot 50+% from 3, ISU will not defend and will forget how to play the entire game.
Wonder if Baylor's season is over too after getting housed by an average Marquette team.
What are the redshirt rules for D1 Basketball? I've seen sites that say you can play up to 4 games. Other sites say if you play in 1 game you cannot redshirt.
Iowa game did give me legitimate pause to what Texas, Baylor, TTU, KU will look like. IIRC we were somewhat competitive in those contests early in season, but once tale was out. They knew how to shut us down.
ISU doesn't have element of surprise benefitting them this year. Not cashing the season in, but will be interested to see what we look like in games that IZB had to take over last year.
Thought there was more balance, but if Osun can't get to the 11-15 ppg consistently that may not be the case.
The Iowa game is an aberration in my opinion. Not saying there won't be another dud or two this season, but no way is what happened 2 nights ago going to become the norm this year
We do not have a consistent legitimate scoring threat as a guard.
We required a 31 point performance from a guy who has shot 12% from 3 in Hilton since last January to beat a decent but not elite UNC team.
I would say what happened at Iowa is closer to the norm than beating UNC.

I simply mean book is out on how to disrupt our "offense". Apply pressure, push us to start offe se from 30-35 ft. Resort to late shot clock deep shots.
I'm not making sure conclusions but feel conference play will be more difficult this year than last.
Think this may not have been the case until Williams went down.
williams averaged 9 points a game last two years at Temple. Similar to what Lipsey is doing. Conference is loaded this year. Will be a battle.
