[Cracked Sidewalks] Let's light this candle! #mubb season kick-off pod

[mu03eng]

We made it, we got through the off-season with a lot of scars but we're now ready to roll so buckle up cause it's gonna be a long one. We kick-off the pod with some discuss of what take-aways(if any) we have from the secret scrimmage and the exhibition game (3:07). We then tackle our annual tradition of going nearly game by game and call our shots in terms of wins and losses for the season....one of us has been doubling down on his optimism pills (11:28). Once the season has been forecast we then tackle big picture questions on the season like what is the floor and the ceiling for this team and what will make this a successful season (38:12). As always, enjoy!

Did Jay Wright really have that can't win in March rep? He had a final 4 Elite 8 and two sweet 16s before that string of early exits. I think the narrative was he just wasn't invested anymore.

Local scribes, namely Tom Oates, used Jay Wright as an example of a coach who couldn't win in March when defending Bo Ryan and criticized Iowa when they lost to them in 2016 as a bad look.

Absolutely and completely. There were calls to get rid of him in Philly around 2012-14.

Jay Wright was the 2012 version of 2018 Tony Bennett.
