LOL!
I am realistic, but smart enough to know that you don’t have to make deep runs in the tourney to be considered a winner.
Your first post painted a picture of a team that we should not expect much from because they were not winners (except Butler). I disagreed with the winners part.
You said that some didn’t even start. They were all starters last year except for Brea, who averaged 30+ minutes a game and Robinson, who was the leading scorer on his team. Starting experience will not limit this team.
You aren’t changing my mind about my opinion of this team, so give it a rest.
I get it, you think you have to make deep runs in the tournament to be considered a winner. I disagree. The tournament is the most improtant measure, but it’s not the only measure for winning. Especially at programs lesser than UK (which is every other program in the country, IMHO). You can’t hold BYU to that same standard, but it doesn’t mean that BYU isn’t a winning program.
As for being a sunshine pumper, I have been accused of that. I have also been accused of being doom and gloom. I am somewhere in between. It’s called being realistic.
I call it like I see it, and I see this team as being a team made up of mostly winners that could come together and make some noise, if the chemistry is there and they jell.
They won’t win a title this season, probably won’t make a very deep run. It’s year one, that’s a big ask. But their shortcomings won’t be because they don’t know how to win or because some of them weren’t even starters or were all second and third options on teams.
That’s my opinion, and you won’t change it. So give it a rest or continue to argue. I don’t care.
I enjoyed the discussion with you, but it’s over, at least from my point of view. We’ve both said everything that needs to be said.
I am clear on your opinion. I have made my opinion clear. Let’s leave it at that.
Or you can continue to discuss this with someone else.
I’m out.
Have a great day and God bless.
And this we can surely agree on…
Go Cats!
