Thread got ummm… interesting for sure.
I have no idea how good, mediocre, or bad this team is going to be, nobody does. It’s another new group of players and it comes down to how well they translate to Pope's style of play.
I think defense could be our downfall, but I feel like Pope runs an...
Very true, it's not measurable, but elite shooters spread the floor and Milan is as elite as it gets at this level and just his presence on the floor changes the game.

The guys that win titles in college, might see a cup of coffee in the NBA.
If having NBA talent meant you have the best chance to win college titles, Calipari...
Welp, as a Tigers fan, this blows.

I called him a quitter a few times myself, but I'm not going to feel bad about it. When you treat the fans like mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed ****), the fans are going to draw their own conclusions.
I get it, nobody owes us anything and the Quaintance family probably wanted to keep things...
