When you think about how great this season has gone, you really need to look at a few things too:
We held a scholarship and were hoping/expecting AJ Green to come. Last minute, he didn't.
We were expecting Williiams to start at the 1, and due to a terrible injury he's unavailable.
We have gone with Lipsey, a true freshman PG, starting from day one.
Kunc got hurt right before conference play and hasn't played a minute.
Considering all of this, and to be sitting in 1st after 8 games, is truly remarkable. Massive credit to the staff, players, everybody. The amount of grit this team has displayed has been incredible. There is still a lot of season left and all of the teams goals are ahead of them and they can do great things. But this is a year where it would have been easy for things to get sideways. It is a year where there have been a lot of opportunities to hang their heads. They have continued to push through. I don't know where this team stacks up historically but this might be the most proud of a group I've ever been. They never day a day off. They never take a play off. Great job.
