This is the worst Team in a Decade

Posted: 11/29/2024 8:33:25 AM

Not impressed with this team at all maybe it's just me but would any of these guys start for another MAC School?

Eh, Saul�s first year transitioning with Groce and Christian remains will easily be the worst.

But was Saul's team picked to win the MAC?

They were picked second in the East and had three productive seniors including a guy who played regular season NBA games plus a guy who won conference POTY a year later. That team was horrific to watch.

The worst team was probably 2017-18. Even if they had been healthy consistently, I don't think I like that roster that much.

Being picked 2nd that year versus unanimous #1 pick this year (Boals obviously didn't pick us) is a big difference. I'll just say year to date we are awful.

Wait, wut?

We've played bad sure. But worst in a decade?

Torvik rankings over last 10 years:

24-25: #144 (3rd in MAC)
23-24: #143 (3rd in MAC)
22-23: #138 (5th in MAC)
21-22: #148 (4th in MAC)
20-21: #74 (2nd in MAC)
19-20: #149 (5th in MAC)
18-19: #193 (10th in MAC)
17-18: #178 (6th in MAC)
16-17: #96 (1st in MAC)
15-16: #125 (3rd in MAC)

So 4 teams in the last decade have actually been worse.

Every single guy in our starting five and probably half the bench would start at other MAC schools, what are you on about?

It's no difference whatsoever because preseason predictions are at best educated guesses made by people who would rather not bother with it and not earned on the court. They don't matter.

So, Coaches don't matter? Their predictions are based on "data" (i.e. prior season results, both team and individual players, as well as new players coming in). And you said, "coaches don't want to be bothered by it"? So, they don't care about the teams they will play in conference and the ones they need to beat to get an NCAA bid? Last, I'm 100% sure not a single coach in the MAC expected Ohio to regress and be 2-5 at this stage against "average" teams, at best.

Remember to win the MAC we don't have to be good we just have to be less bad than everyone else

I've seen crazier things happen.

In a 1 bid league that is now ranked in the bottom 1/3 of D1. This is accurate.
