I didn’t watch oscar’s last couple of years. I can’t remember a team that’s looked as consistently bad as this one, and I watched a lot of Wooly ball. I know Asbury had a terrible year on his way out the door.
Man we are just terrible.
That's the pisser with this team. There's no question they're more talented than those early Wooly teams and there's no question they're more talented than Weber's last three teams. I mean, it's not like we're trotting Richie Terry out there because we don't have anyone else.
And yet, it's quite possible this team will duke it out with Wooly/Weber for the fewest conference wins this century (Weber had 3 in 2019-20 and Wooly had 4 twice -2000-01 and 2002-03.
Pack, Nowell and Smith were better than anything we're putting on the floor this year with the possible exception of N'G.
As they're being used, perhaps. But Weber also didn't have a McDonald's all-american + a 4-star post from Kentucky sitting the bench (for whatever reason).
But Smith was basically a glue guy who didn't do anything particularly exceptionally (perhaps aside from defensive rebounding) and Pack/Hausen have similar traits (good shooters and not good at anything else). I think McDaniel is actually comparable to Nowell's first year when I don't think Weber knew what to do with him. Similarly, I don't think Tang knows how to harness McDaniel's skills (or, any of the others for that matter).
Regardless, it probably doesn't matter - dogshit is still dogshit
