Given our murderous schedule, we're going to be hard-pressed to live up to expectations in the regular season. We might even be labeled as "underachievers" at some point. Fortunately, regular season in hoops means next to nothing. As long as they're ready to go in March...

Going to be interesting to see how we react to being the huntee and not the hunter.

Grant Williams is an upperclassman now and a Naismith finalist. If they stop officiating him like a freshman walkon, we'll be really hard to handle. Usually last year, it was almost like he had two fouls before the game even tipped off.

Yeah, what also makes it fun is the fact that there are 2 games a week.  As opposed to stewing over a loss for a week.   :wave:

We were 23-7 last season I think. Looking at the schedule, I would probably take that again.

Admiral started playing like an NBA prospect towards the end of last year too.I am curious to see Pons this year, I expect he will be a lot better. There is experience, depth, and talent on this team.
