Where is this team going?

Typo.

I consider myself a member of CORE, but it's a Community or Council of Realistic Expectations, not a cult. I save that term for people with strange and misguided beliefs not people with rational opinions.

Realistic expectations are ridiculed here.

Tell me about it.

OMG...is everyone a victim?

I do not totally disagree and not concerned about it. The top 8 guys have been together everyday for 2+ years and getting agitated with each other is normal. I mentioned after Georgetown that I thought Kolek was frustrated with some of the guys and I still feel that way. They have had a good number of battles together and confident that if there is an issue, it will get figured out.

IMO, Kolek has some Tom Brady in him. He does not seem like a guy that accepts teammates not giving 100% all of the time. To be honest, adversity can be a great thing providing it gets figured out.

I have no idea if there is adversity currently, but definitely understandable. Shaka's comments seem to me to be challenge to the guys vs. something that can be fixed.

I'm not sure there's a lot of panic going on, I've seen scoop much much worse...
See: any game in the Wojo era or after UNC tourney loss.

It's sometimes easy to wonder if those that are claiming mass hysteria or panic are actually the ones panicking.

I'm sure if there's one thing we can all agree upon it's that this season hasn't been as enjoyable as last up to this point- that Kansas game was the pinnacle, sorry for anyone that slept thru that one because it was amazing- and the Texas and 1H ND were great.

Such is life in the fast lane of lofty expectations.

Let's fire it back up with the longest home winning streak in BE history!

This is great insight.  There seems to be more talk of panic in this thread than actual panic.

Agreed, Bobs point is well taken.  Friction occurs during a season and really several seasons together. And your point that it could be a good thing providing they work it out could also be right.  This is going to be fun to watch play out.

Shaka is specifically praising Oso for his commitment to winning every day and then name checking TKo and Kam.
