Hey, Wolv, welcome back.
For now, I just want to play a competitive game against them. We are so far away from talking trash that it's not even funny.
I think they might have been primed for the picking this year except they pulled in some good players in their 2017 recruiting class including a transfer big man who, I'll be honest, I looked at film on him and couldn't figure out why he had no real offers. He's 6'10", 250# and he has 3-point range. And he's shown it in the exhibition/scrimmage stuff they've played so far this year.
If it was just our attrition against their attrition, I'd be happy to be a little optimistic, but a couple of their freshmen look legit and so does this big man transfer.
So, let's just play the game and talk beating them when and if it actually happens.
