In my opinion this isn't a Final Four contender until Lynch can prove he can stay in the floor consistently and a couple of real threats from beyond the arc emerge.
All it took was a couple of injuries last year, and we were getting our butts handed to us by MTSU on a big stage. We've already lost Curry for the year. I'm not sure the roster is hanging by any more of a thread than last year. If someone else in the front court goes down it'll be tough to beat anyone.
That said, we're two years out from being a total wreck. There's no shame in being something slightly less than a top 5 team. Contend for a B1G title and be one of the last 16 teams standing in the national tourney, and I'll be happy.
