Coming into this season, I’d have taken what we’ve gotten 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. 30 in kenpom, 19 wins with a shot at 20, John Collins having gone relatively unheralded to an easy first round pick in 2 years thanks to incredible coaching and of course John’s incredible talent and work ethic. We went against a murderous schedule and gained 8 wins overall, 7 in conference. 3 road wins in conference. Multiple dogfights against quality teams. Peaking at the right time.
What we’re seeing now in the third year of the Manning Era is ALMOST everything a reasonable person could expect, and maybe even a little more than that.
