Wow, on page three this thread takes a turn for the great. Excellent points by both SYS and rusty/mich cat.
Was also thinking about how last season we were 11-5 in conference and somehow this season it seems as though 11-5 would be some kind of embarrassment. Like sys pointed out we look like garbage on offense, but KSU is already better defensively than last year and the offense should improve over time.
One other thing I wanted to mention is this school of thought going around that this is some sort of "last chance" to be good. When the reality is that KSU bball is on its best footing in 20 years. There will be dips in performance on some years and there will be peaks as well. I see us plateauing as a fringe top 25 & 6/7 NCAA seed type program, but with up years where we are a 2/3 seed or so and down years where we may miss the dance.
