As Dan has mentioned elsewhere, Anderson will play a key role in what this team achieves. He needs to be a serviceable starter, which as to be considered a question mark at this time. Factor in the point-guard situation and an overall lack of perimeter shooting, and it's hard to imagine the team finishing higher than seventh. Given the aforementioned areas of concern, I think taking this team to the Big Dance would be a challenge for any coach, let alone Willard.
Every team has question marks heading into a new season; it just seems as if Seton Hall's are more pronounced than other teams in the Big East. The Pirates are generally ranked near the bottom of the conference in the pre-season poll. People here then complain about lack of respect, but the forecast usually winds up being pretty accurate. When those predictions are made, it's not just about the talent but the coaching as well. In this case, I wonder whether the personnel holes will be too much for this coach to overcome. There's some good talent, but some crucial pieces seem to be missing.
