Terrible record not going to be okay next year, it's fine this year, but this group needs to be ready to compete next season. If you end say 9-51 in conference play in your first three years, the program becomes stale, and you lose momentum with your main pipeline in state. Last year was a true year zero, we threw out college hoops version of an expansion team, we had six guys who could play at this level and we ran out of gas, but it was fun from Nov-Dec. This year like the first draft class, the true beginning if you will. What's frustrating is the big ten isn't nearly as down as we thought it would be this year and the veteran transfers aren't carrying the team like we need them too and here we are. Next year though, everyone but Samuels has eligibility to comeback, two (three if you count Betts) new pretty good recruits can be inserted into the line up. Need to be able to maneuver guy or two out that doesn't fit to get a good multi year combo guard in, if wedo that combine with everyone else gaining a year of experience and development, there's no excuse for the type of performances we are seeing this year next season. Ben really should be inline to make the type of improvements that Pitino made in the 2016 off season, I think being around .500 in conference next year regardless of how this year ends is a realistic expectation, based on the current construction of the roster and the recruits coming in next year, combined with the ability to bring in a transfer. Pitino brought in Springgs, and Lynch became eligible, who will be Ben's version of Akeem time will tell, but another bad year next year and he's toast
