Yeah we were feeling the same way last year after the kstate win. Our kenpom ranking is more competitive than it was this time last year tho.

Waaay too high. I'm not sold on this team yet as their schedule so far has been abysmal. And in McMahon's previous seasons the team has played well in nonconference ball, only to fall flat on their faces when conference play begins.

Yea not sure how anyone could gather anything other than wait and see with how terrible MM has been and the absolute pathetic out of conference schedule.

They struggled early against Alcorn St., buckle up it's going to be another lackluster season.

6-12 in SEC at best.

Kenpom isnt going to be very useful this early on, needs more data relying too much on preseason metrics still at this point. We still havent played a team with a pulse yet and honestly didnt look hot the past 2 games now. Allowing 81 to FIU and Alcorn St is truly dreadful defensive play, even if we won these games by 17 and 26. FIU lost to Nebraska by 30 and got held to 66 points. Alcorn St has been held to 76 or less in every game but ours and South Alabama and Howard held them to 70 and 64 respectively. They also lost by 32 to FSU and 45 to Minnesota. So a 26 point win there giving up 81 doesnt look great right now.
This team has a ways to go and honestly we wont know a ton for a long time. Even that torunament we're playing in coming up, Drake doesnt look good, GT/Depaul (2nd opponent) havent looked great either. Certainly better teams than the trash we've been playing, but we might not truly play a good opponent until Texas Tech. BC lost to FAU and Central Connecticut already.

I like what I see from this team on offense. The ability to defend however needs to get better.

14-40 in SEC No more wait until next year , it’s tournament or he’s got to go. You can’t judge yet just eating cupcakes. It’s about to get real soon enough though

The perimeter defense will be bad, go ahead and accept that now. But I’d rather be strong inside and weak outside vs. the opposite.
Good enough offense & rebounding, you can win that way.

The issue is LSU hasn't been that strong inside either. And a bigger issue is if the perimeter defense is bad, it allows guys to get inside, which then tends to put rotations in flux and create open looks.

To a degree. But the best teams all have good defenses. Defense "travels". Great offenses with poor defenses generally leads to inconsistent results and an inability to consistently perform well on the road. If you HAD to be imbalanced, I'd take a great defense over a great offense every time.

Let me rephrase. I don’t think we’re dominant in the paint, but I think we have the capacity to be.
Whereas I think the perimeter defense is what it is, because you can’t coach agility into your players lol. Expecting that to dramatically improve is probably unrealistic… but we have the horses to be a problem for people in the paint.

I think we’re gonna look back and ask why wasn’t Miller given more minutes early to help with the front line play. Tamba is a nice energy guy but is small and won’t hold up for big minutes in league play. Reed is what he is, a jumbo sized Derek Fountain. The front court reaching max potential is Nwoko and Miller, what’s going to happen in league play is Nwoko will start to be squeezed and he won’t get those easy looks and lobs he’s getting now so that production will be cut in half or worse. This easy part of the schedule should be Miller developing into a productive role alongside Nwoko. We’re going to look back and ask why we weren’t taking this time to address this.
