I can even argue that the team shouldnt have been on the bubble at all this year, with the elite talent we have
News alert: Avon Barksdale proclaims that Steve Lavin brings in elite talent! Extend Now!
Lol! HIT would never admit that as it is not in his DNA. Fact is we lost two games because that elite talent was not on the team in two games we lost and this team, at 22 wins, would not be 1 game away from an assured NCAA bid. Fact is this team has almost zero points coming from the bench in most games yet may earn a bid. That my fickle redmen fans is credit to both the coaches and players.
You can credit Lavin w the success of the team. But the lack of bench is on him. Re . Next year if CO and Sheed return, w can be good. If not, we are the youngest team in America again, and next year will be ugly. Time will tell. IMO Lavin should be evaluated at the end of the season. Taking into account NCAAs and next years roster.
