It is now January, we are 10-5, and ranked around 50 in the major metrics.
Let's look at a recap of the season so far:
Coming off JD2 and Stallings, Capel has us in the exact spot a program like Pitt should expect to be, NIT/borderline NCAAT quality in back to back seasons. A lot of ball left to be played, but the expectation would be that our youth continues to improve. I post this solely as a counterpoint to our normal doom and gloom cycle.
Let's look at a recap of the season so far:
- We lost nearly all of our team leadership (namely Cummings and Burton) as well as one of the best 6th men in CBB (Sibande).
- We lost our (apparent) starting Point Guard.
- We lost an immediate impact big man for the year. One who many thought would push Federiko and the DG's development, at minimum.
- Comparatively last year, our record is currently worse, but metrics sitting in a very similar range.
