This lineup reminds me of the year that the outgoing seniors were sophomores and we lost to Bradley in the tournament. That team was very young and inexperienced with Rush, Chalmers, Robinson, Kaun, Galindo, Giles, Wright, Kaun, Jackson, etc. I believe that was the year we played in Hawaii early on and looked absolutely ridiculously bad. I remember thinking we have too many big time recruits, they'll never gel. But if you remember Downs had transferred I think that year or the year before, then Giles eventually left. As the year progressed we built confidence and ended up making a huge run through the Big XII schedule (won 10 in a row after losing to K-State and Mizzou) and then got crushed at Texas. We eventually tied with Texas and then beat UT in the Big XII final.
We sure looked BAD in Maui that year and got REALLY good by the end of the year. I have a feeling this team could take on that tenor.
