If you told me the day TJ was hired we'd be 2/2 on making the tournament with a 2-2 record (a Sweet Sixteen though being booted in the first round once), then I would have been ******* estatic at the time.

The future is bright. Lots of work to do this spring with the transfer portal and this summer with integrating the new guys into the roster and culture, but TJ has built two tournament teams in the past two springs with resources approximating the value of a stick of gum and some paperclips. This is still lots of fun!

Good season! Coaches need to look at what happened over the past 6 weeks (save Baylor). They've got to figure out some adjustments late in the season. It's not all because the players suck.

I'll miss Jaren, Gabe, Osun, and Jaz.

I want to rant & purge, but mostly I just feel numb. I hate when season is over regardless of the details. I don't feel like watching any more games today, although generally I get over that at some point.

Basically, the game was summary of this team's worst tendencies. Wish it could've been "delayed" another round or two. But whenever we got bounced, it was going to be for at least some of the reasons we saw today. I don't know if I expected EVERY worst tendency to come into play in a single game, but ...

I remember last year some analysis discussion on the number of games we struggled to break 40 or 50 pts in a game. Appears those ghosts still exist and here we are ending the season in a game we barely broke 40. Disappointing that wasn't fixed this year.

I'm disappointed to say the least. There's always a decent chance we're going to lose this game, but I did not expect it to be completely non-competitive for 30 out of 40 minutes. Missed shots are one thing, but what I'm most surprised by is how poorly we played defensively to start that game.

Good season overall, but I feel terrible for how our seniors went out. They deserved better than that.

Lots to work on in the off-season, and plenty of motivation to work on it.
