This checked out. Herb covered up so much for them and looks pretty good in the NBA. KenPom had them at either #8 or #9 to start the year, and the media hype was absurd. Davison is pretty good, but the rest of their roster can't sniff last year's. Quinerly passing up a wide open 3 to airball a layup vs Auburn was one of the funniest moments of the year.
