The season can't get here fast enough so here are some of my thoughts. Feel free to mock, agree or add whatever else you want to make the time pass quickly.
I believe this team will finish no worse than 4th in the conference. Actually, I really believe if JBo stays healthy all season this team will finish 2nd behind Michigan St. If Cook stays healthy all season and Garza can get acclimated to college basketball quickly we will push the Spartans for the title.
I know defense is one of the keys for success and believe me we will improve there. Another year of these guys playing together will no doubt improve the help defense. Also, adding some height to the center position will help too.
Ultimately, my confidence in this team comes from the fact that they seem to have a little swagger to them. Examples: JBo hits a game winning shot at Wisconsin last year. Cook is willing to dunk over anyone. Pemsl goes toe to toe with Haas and slams him to the ground for a jump ball. Baer is that annoying energizer bunny type that gets under the opposing teams skin. This confidence is an attribute the experts can't measure and what will lead to great things for this team.
Let me know what you're thinking. Help me get my bball fix until the games start!!
