UGH!!! Had a 32-3 team heading into the Sweet Sixteen. I was the number 1 overall team in the country, had been in the top 3 all season long.. I beat 15 ranked teams through the season, 8 on the road. (The Big Ten was stacked)..... anyways
Against Pitt in the sweet 16, I struggled all game. I couldn't contain their shooters and they lit me up from deep. I pulled it within 3 with just over a minute left, but they came back down the other way and got a 4 point play!!!!!
That was THE BEST team I had ever coached, and I lost 3 seniors off the team. My Center ended up being defensive player of the year, and I had 2 first team AA and 1 2nd team AA...
Now fastforward to next year. Number 2 recruiting class coming in.
FIrst game against George Mason, my team starts out like crap!!!! I'm number 3 in the country and i'm down 2 at the half. I bench everyone and let my 3 freshman run the show. I think I may have found myself a new point guard. AA freshy.
I ended up winning by 30, after being down 2 at half...
Through 2 easy games my fresh point guard is averaging 12 points and 6 assists... hell of a start.. He's gonna be starting for me now I think... My AA SG is averaging 20.. My center is averaging 14.. and two others averaging 10.. Once I figure out how to play iwth them there is no question this team has potential, but they are rough to play with right now. I'll keep it updated
