Generally a comprehensive and reasonable preview (and long!), and so a worthwhile read.
"Every year that he has been the head coach at Marquette, their defense has gotten worse. "
Good gravy I hope this is the last year that that is written.... although hard to see how we could be worse than 182nd.
Question is - how bad could our D be an still make the NCAA? Heck, one more W last year probably got us in - so maybe we would have made in in with 170ish D? Hypothetical - we make the tourney (say 8 or 9 seed) but D is still at 150. Is this progress?
If we outscore everyone 110-95 we'd still be dancing, right?
Though honestly, I think this year anything below 100 would be a disappointment. The two midgets excuse will be gone, this is the time Wojo's guys have to show the defense can work.
Looks like this has been covered. Time to merge some threads.

I agree, and started this thread as it didn't realize that the link in the other thread and the one in my original post went to the same article.
I will guiltily submit to 30 lashings from the Office of Redundancy Department.
