Then our remaining point guard quits the team and then comes back.
We loose one player for being an idiot and embarrassment to the U.
We loose another player this season due to surgeries
One of our top recruits can't play and is a partial qualifier.
One of the Freshman is not even close to ready to play at the speed of the college game.
One of our two best returning players has had back issues and missed 1/2 the games.
Another player is injured.
And we are playing lots of freshman - one of which has a target on his back because who his brother is.
Again tell me why anyone thought or thinks this season is going to be a winning one? Next year - heck yeah - but not this year. This year is when our Freshman get lots of minutes and experience that will pay off next year. This season just chill and get to know all the new faces. The 3 freshman playing - are all going to be great players for us - in the future. This year it will just be little flashes of greatness.

I over estimated based on the following:
1. My rose colored glasses tend to make me an optimist for teams I love
2. Svoboda having years of semi pro experience and shooting near 50% from the international 3 line
3. Kostas redshirting
4. X back & stronger than ever
5. Josh back and better than ever forming a talented starting line up.
6. The intangible of Coach Grant's return
7. My rose colored glasses
