that this year's team will be no worse than last year's team and IMO has a slightly larger upside.
Miraculously, due to Beilein's continued underrated coaching this team won some big games last year and were a couple minutes away from beating a very, very good Notre Dame team in the tourney.
Unfortunately due to an influx of only above average talent, at least at this stage in their careers, it does not appear we have enough difference makers in the returning group or newcomers to be a solid lean towards a sweet 16 team.
In summary, same old story. Our inability as a program to recruit better means a solid group of players with a lower ceiling than most of us would like will hopefully be massively coached up by Beilein and his staff in order to provide a chance at a very good year. How's that for vanilla.
