Not quite. The team will have to win 10 more games this season for the offense to match Dawkins’ team’s fourth season success.
One season among 8. This team has an NCAA-caliber defense but the offense is as bad as pretty much any team of the past decade-plus.
Best defense in the Haawkins era, a truly elite D (when everyone is healthy), and close to (but not quite) the worst offense. Ironically, the worst offense was actually last season's, which we are for some reason now pining for.

Haase's offenses have been horrible the entire time he's been here. I'd LOVE an average "Dawkins-esque" offense right about now. Even his worst was better than all but one of Haase's.
A little surprising but certainly not shocking that Jones and Taylor are struggling so much offensively. Seems as though they've hit the freshman wall. Daejon's offense has completely disappeared...seems as though he's been out of sync for quite a few weeks. Don't know if the mask is to blame but if he's not contributing offensively, we're really hosed.
Good news for the future: we bring in two apparently very good to great shooters next year. Have to think that will make a big difference. We'll still struggle in the low post but getting additional firepower along the perimeter has got to pay dividends in close games where we struggle offensively...meaning, almost all of our games the past month or so.
