This team as currently composed is not very good, not sure where the argument is on that point.
The argument is that you are conflating the concepts of "currently composed" and "in current state of development". There is no argument to be made that this is a good basketball team right now. No one can make that argument after their shit has been pushed in twice in a week and the team has 4 ACC wins. It is not hard to argue that a team that has 90% of all of its statistics coming from players not yet in their junior year can be good, even if we're not supposed to talk about that because its similar to Spaz's excuse that was completely different because it wasn't true among other reasons.
These kids have played every freaking game these last 2 years. Im excluding the freshman guards from this. That sophomore class has like 50+ games under their belt. The youth and inexperience thing is somewhat valid is leaning how to win close games. Its total BS when trying to explain the total lack of showing up the last 2 games. Oh and Cuse and Pitt are in next year, which is 3 more guaranteed Ls.
First, I strongly encourage you to become a Kentucky fan. It is the only way you will ever be anything other than miserable. You hated Skinner. You hate Donahue. You would love being a Providence fan between seasons but not during seasons. This is in response to your PITT AND CUSE ERMAGURRRHD!!!1!
Next, why in the name of bates college graduates who hate to love BC would you remove the best and third best player from the roster in your response? Is it really total bullshit that two freshman who are the primary ball handlers have a hard time playing a late season game in tobacco road against teams with tournament implications after averaging 30+ minutes a night should be given some time to develop? No, you're right, they will always come out shitting themselves and exhausted in Cameron and PNC because they did it this time.
Bring on the team full of fucking Darius Miles clones that eepstein thinks is the only recruiting style that can result in winning basketball teams.
