as is always the case, way more people than should have did openly get excited about the prospects of this team and how it would come together, and a few more looked som their nose at pessimistic predictions. so to sort of answer your question, i’m guessing that it’s just joe hitting most of our fans that this isn’t going to be the season they’d hoped for.
as i’ve said, sean miller was an underwhelming hire who i don’t think has it in him to match what barnes or even beard did here (in a vacuum), but with that said this will not be the season he is judged on. at this point i just really really hope that he’s lining up an elite portal pg, because we still don’t have one for next year.
