That wasn’t the best team we’ve had, but that construction is what I like in college basketball.
Self had A LOT of shitty luck this year though.
He took a chance on Arterio (who absolutely would’ve helped), which failed spectacularly.
Elmarko never looked like a McDonald’s AA. He really needed to be what Sherron was as a freshman (which isn’t unreasonable given his recruit ranking). That just didn’t happen.
Timberlake was one of those shooters we needed, but his game just didn’t translate to real college basketball.
McCullar injury was a killer. Furphy hitting the wall was a killer.
We were also down scholarships which hurt bad.

I don't know WTF they were doing with McCullar early. I'm
guessing They were trying to make him appealing to an NBA team. But he wore down last year, and then they upped his usage. I made posts in this thread about it. You could see it coming from a mile away. He wasn't going to make it.
It's frustrating Timberlake finally played well. If he'd have played like he did in the tournament, he could have spelled some of our guys through the year.
