Disappointing:

Marquette and Stony Brook

Suprise:

Denver and Towson

Disappointing

Michigan, Army

[stupefied]

Agree with Cuse and Towson

I would say that Duke and UVA have not performed up to their talent bases despite being in quarters

[stupefied]

PSU also disappointed

Disappointing

Michigan, Army

Curious what you expected out of Michigan. Quarters? I think backing up their NCAA trip with another would probably count as a success in my eyes. Definitely agree with Army

[Carolinagrad]

Definitely agree with Towson as a surprise, Syracuse recruited well
under Petro’s short tenure as an assistant so I would consider them a mild surprise.

Duke and Carolina are my disappointments

[Asgot]

Have to put Rutgers on this list 2PLL draft picks and 2 of the best freshman in the country to finish last in the big ten again.

[gymman1031]

After what we just witnessed against Maryland, Duke deserves to be mentioned in the top group on this list. That many losses and no Final Four for a team with not just so much talent, but one that should have been starving to finish business in the postseason after coming up just short a year ago.

[Brownlax]

Disappointed:

Brown

Everyone had them last anyway

[FannOLax]

Disappointed:

Brown

Yes, in a disappointing year for the Ivy, Brown was the most disappointing.

Good surprise: Denver, with an honorable mention to Albany.

Maybe disappointing, but not surprising:
