Where will the dropoff be.
I think there will be a little drop in Athletic ability - TC & Moss were very athletic - I don't think we saw as much on display as we should have though..
I think we will be physically and mentally tougher. I don't think we win the ISU game without Pemsl, he played tough and didn't back down. Joe and Luka will get more physical and have an edge to them. Sounds like Jack matured into his frame.
Shooting shouldn't drop off much if any - Baer and Moss were streaking, Moss just wouldn't shoot at times - TC was inside 10 ft - Pemsl has better post moves if healthy. Adding a strech 4 and another good shooter at the 2. Have a feeling CMac will develop a reliable shot. TC and Baer were our lowest FT% guys. Have some guys like Joe T & PMac where we will have to wait to see exactly what they can provide
Turnovers should drop - hopefully 8-10 for the game, I think TC average around 3/game. Don't see the stretches where we would turn the ball over 5 or 6 times in 10 possessions
Defense should get better if Fran put a little more emphasis on it. Defense keeps you in the game when you have the scoring droughts. We had too many times where we allowed 10-0 or 12-4 runs and being behind by 6 turned onto 18 in the matter of a minute or two and the game was over for the most part. Good defense helps you weather the storm.
Not expecting to be better but not seeing a huge drop off
Expect we would lose a couple preseason games and flirt with around .500 record in the B10 with chance for NCAA
