Nervous . . . we are becoming a target for others and we are setting up a scenario where "fans" will be dissappointed and experts will take shots at us as being "underachievers", etc. [Our pre-conference schedule is very, very tough.]
We still have a team this year with no senior starters, or may be even not one senior among the top 9 or 10 players on the roster, and no 5 star players. [I know we have 3 juniors.]
We are "thin" (in numbers only) at point guard.
We cannot be totally confident that our defensive rebounding will match up with at the very "top" of the SEC, or are we?
Do we have a lock down defender on this team? [Team defense can compensate here, at least in part.]
Do we have a player who can consistently break down his man and get to the basket? [I know our offense is predicated on precise, patterned plays and beating the other team down the floor for early and open looks.]
Can we keep everyone happy with PT?
