mdn82 got a reaction from Uspshoosier in Expectations for the 24-25 Season
That’s really the big thing. I expect more wins than most when we are including both tournaments. I think we can get to 24+ wins before the BTT and expect some success after. But it’s only April. The teams we are playing against are also trying to get better. The teams like us are going to have to gel over the summer. We have talent, but a lot will come down to how well they come together over the summer and fall. A lot can and will change between now and the end of the next season. I like where our talent mostly is, but more excited to see if we can take a step forward this year. Really need to see wins. Can’t wait either way.

Winning is key. There needs to be a decent amount of positive momentum this season. Still a backup big and a knock down shooter, but there are no perfect teams. You have 3-32% 3 pt shooters that could/should take a jump. All 3 have a FT% that shows they just need to put shots up over the summer and they will be fine.
Expectations with the roster we have and our opponents? We need to be a top 5 seed (could be top 2-3 seed), Sweet 16+, 28+ wins, top 2 or 3 B1G team, top 30 offensively, top 40 defensively, etc. Do I expect that all? Nope. Have to see how it all gels. Most talented team since 2012 imo. Just hope Gallo is more sophomore Sheehey and not senior Sheehey. Think that will be huge getting him in the right role for our team beyond stability at the PG spot. But winning Nov-March will go a long way to giving our NIL currency more value down the road. Not playing down to our competition will also help.

Big time upgrade from what we have had in position probably since Yogi. X had talent, but it didn’t translate to consistency in production. Big first get. Keep stacking talent. We need it everywhere. Still want 2 more dudes that can go out get theirs when needed, and knock down open 3’s.

And character. Talented kids that won’t leave the gym. That are obsessively in love with the game.
Rice will be there with Cupps at 6:00am

I would argue that it was a great 2nd get. Tucker was not a portal kid but was a late, short recruitment add and while not the shooter Liam was he can be a big help down the road.

I feel your pain mods and do not in the least envy you. Really want Conwell. Not too overly interested in Boogie. One and done, and we should be able to find better, more consistent production for that timeframe in the portal. Just wish we could get some dudes (atleast 2-3) that could get their own shot as well as hit from deep 36%+. Don’t recall who said it, but having a team that can hit 75% free throws would go a long way. The mid 60s from the line is probably more aggravating than the horrible 3 pt percentage/takes even though that has more impact on the game.
