From SB Nation: NU Men's BB analysis, SIAP.

A lot of good data but way too long of a read for me.

1. Expectations were high based on 13-14 season.
2. Chemistry may have been an issue
3. Lack of support outside Petteway/Shields was an issue
4. Defense was surprisingly good considering no rim protector

What it was missing is any projection for the next season noting that Petteway, L. Smith, Pitchford, Abraham, and Tarin have left the team.

Personally, I think the team will actually improve over the course of the season and we'll start to see what a real Tim Miles team/future will look like. I think Miles was handed a deck that basically had to live and die with Petteway getting hot. It paid off in 2013 but if crapped out the next year.

I expect to see much more of a fluid offense, less reliance on one guy breaking down his man one-on-one.

Unfortunately, the loss of talent may be too much to overcome, but I believe we will start to see signs of what is to come.
