Seems about right.
Saw a bracket today on ESPN that had us as an #11 seed.
Those teams ahead of us in the BIG are tough with maybe a young,talented terp team someone we can jump, altho they did beat us in MD last year ( ouch).

The loss of Bennett is tough to quantify,as pgs are like QBs in value . That will be hard to overcome.

As was said above, losing Bennett is a huge deal. Also, manny of our kids are untested, especially in the B1G. I think our fans’ loyalty to Ben will be tested if, God forbid, we don’t do well.
btw, I’m watching Hausen against Golden State. He’s had 17 points in 15 minutes!!!! He looks awesome. I think he had over 20 points in the first game. I swear, I will never understand this one. What happened at Iowa? Anyway, I hope the kids does great in the NBA.

Depends if they can find their alpha right out of the gate or not. I’m hoping Cooper is ready for that step. If they do this team has a chance to be really dangerous.

I am ok with this because we are listed too low and there is another season ahead of the guys to prove others wrong. Will there be bumps along the way? no doubt....there were this past season. If Ben has them playing defense again and our offense naturally becomes more balanced (not relying so much on one guy), I think we have a fun team to watch.
