Same question. Different perspective?

- Start date
Just thinking about what I figured Yetna and Harris would give us last year and how it could be an NCAA Tournament team in Sha's first year. Whoops. LOL. And then Richmond missed 6 games, Davis missed 10 games. Brutal.
If we're taking injuries out of it and just basing on paper, I'm going last year.
It's still going to be a tall task for this year's team to finish better than last year's did at 10-10 BE, but we're off to a great start! And if Sha has really gotten to them it'll be fun to watch. Maybe the sum will be greater than the parts.

Agree with this… a healthy Yetna, Davis, Richmond and Harris for the whole season. I take last year‘s team.
You can't take injuries our ot the equation. Yetna never stepped a foot on the floor. We played out of position all season. We have a true back to the basket Center this year, not Samuel being forced into that position. We have much more size available with Hutchinson ,NgaNga and Tubek. Coleman more than makes up for the loss of Davis. I think this team is in much better position. The probelem between the 2 is the same...shooting. You aren't going to be that competetive hitting 3 3pointers in a game. I think Uconn wanted to beat us without using gimmicks to pack the paint. It cost them. No team at this point needs to even guard us out to the 3pi line until we prove we can hit that shot with at least some consistancy..
So interesting to me that Samuel played with Bediako in Canada and helped recruit him here after he left for Florida. They would have made a monster 5 - 4 combination.
3 of 8 was enough to beat the #5 team in the nation by 15. I'm fine with that. Which btw is 38%. I'm fine with that too.
We broke out of our 3 point shooting slump against Mizzou pretty nicely.
I feel going forward we will hit our wide open 3's consistently enough. Dawes, Dylan and Dre have shown that in their 3 point% histories.
The key is to keep the ball moving , drive and kick out and shoot them in the flow of the game.
We are a better shooting team than last year.

Our problem right now is lack of depth. If we lose a starter or two to injury; we’ll struggle to win games.
too bad Samuel isn’t here this season. He could have moved to the stretch 4 spot with Bediako at the 5. Bring Addae wusu off the bench as 6 man.

With a healthy Yetna - last year. This year's team has some potential though if we can play even close to how we played UConn. Record wise I don't see us hitting 10-10 but I think we have the potential of seeing a better brand of basketball this year - last year was hard to watch even though we won 10 games. I'll say this year by a hair even if we don't win 10 games.
