surprised at some level of up-and-down this season. A lot of our coaches haven't coached at the college level much, if at all. There are differences that might take time to adjust to. Several of our most talented players are freshmen, or at least new to college/Big12 basketball. It will probably be an adjustment for them.

I tend to agree with those who have said the ceiling is higher this year, but the floor might also be lower than last years team. I'm confident we'll do enough to get into the NCAA tournament. hopefully we do well enough to get a decent seed, and by that time we've figured out a lot of what we might struggle with throughout the season, so we can go win a couple games in March.
