I've listened and read a ton on here about our "young" team and all the learning mistakes and how they'll mature and how it isn't Chambers fault.
So I look at the team below and ask myself what's different.
Why are they a possible tournament team and we are not close
I'm sure those that follow the game closely will know the team below
I'm sure some will be surprised to see who they are and in what conference they play
They have 5 upper classman just like us.
They're loaded with Fr/So just like us.
What's the difference in the performance and the outcome?
Recruiting, talent level, coaching, luck?
It's not schedule!
Fair question I think.
