My point would be that if YOU are basing YOUR expectations on Vegas lines, rankings, etc., and not on what you actually see, you're probably making a mistake. If FANS are basing THEIR expectations on the name on the uniform, or the emblem on the floor, and not on what THEY have SEEN for the last 2 seasons plus 4 games, they are making a mistake. if the players and coaches think that they can just put on a uniform, roll the ball out on the floor, and just go at it, they are making a mistake. To "rationalize" something is to be rational in your thought process. It's not making excuses to point out the reasons for a rational thought process. In fact, I'd say that in this case, thinking that past success will have any effect on future results is almost the opposite of rational thought. I'm being purely analytical when I point out the problems with this roster and express that my expectations for THIS year are somewhat conservative, even pessimistic when compared to others. But they are based on what I SEE, not on what if feel. They are not an indictment of the program or a comment on what I think they will accomplish over the NEXT couple of years, only my feeling for THIS year.

Yeah PG has been an issue since Ed Sumner went down. Minus some early success of Goodin's surrounded by great shooters.
Every team doesnt press us because that is a hard style to play. They probably practice the shit out of that defense. And they have to have the bodies to be able to do it."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

Yeah FT's were the least of our worries last night.
Carter had a couple bad plays but for the most part he was a major reason why we won. He is definitely this site's whipping boy though. He wont play that many minutes often though, but we are essentially playing with 6 guys Steele trusts at this point (not sure why Griffin doesnt get a little more run, probably bad matchup yesterday for him), plus Scruggs was in foul trouble and only played 21 mins. Once Jones and Wilcher return Carter's mins will go down some but I think it is time for a lot of people to accept he is going to be integral to our success and he is going to get a lot of playing time. He has been huge on the boards and despite a couple close missed shots he was big offensively too. Added 4 assists and was 7/8 from the FT line."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team.

To be fair recruiting is obviously going to come more naturally to a new head coach because he has been doing that for years as an assistant. It's obviously fair to say he isnt a great head coach right now but I dont think its fair to determine after 2 seasons and 4 games that he wont be a great head coach. I still think he probably has a 50/50 shot to turn into one. At the start of Sean Miller's 3rd year no one thought he was a great head coach. I think most think he turned out to be our best coach ever.
