I thought it might be easier to have a separate thread for our thoughts about this past season rathet than lump then in with Iowa post game or the 2019-2020 thread.
I thought, while there were definitely some bright spots, notably Ayo, Giorgi, and a four game stretch in February, in total, the season was very disappointing. We finished last in the conference in kenpom standings, and while we managed a three way to for 10th in conference, we did have just about the easiest imaginable conference schedule.
It certainly looked like we had turned a corner in February, but losing 5 of the last 7, including home losses to psu, iu, and a blowout by Iowa, washed away all that good feeling for me.
I think there's numerous reasons to be hopeful that next year will be markedly better, but 21 losses is just a bitter pill no matter how you slice it.
