OK, now that the season is over, we can look back objectively at the season to rate the team's "total body of work" to assess how they stacked up overall and vs. past teams.

At various points during the season, there were threads discussing the team with mid-stream comparisons to the past. There was a wide range of assessments at that time from at least mildly optimistic to this is the worse team in many years.

For me, the team obviously had weaknesses and was head scratching at times. But it also had talent, albeit latent and undeveloped at times, and they underwent tumultuous periods and distractions during the season. Basically, it took all season to come together and for that talent to shine in the NCAAT. They benefited from not having to play MSU, but their grit and perseverance took an OK or decent in-season team and made them a contender. Some of their weaknesses showed again last night against UNC, but that glimmer of determination again came through at least briefly with that 10-0 run in the 2nd half. For me, this team will give me lasting memories to a group of young men who overcame lots of adversity and moved forward as a unified team to make it to the FF. That has to count for a lot in this total season. Congrats players and coaches.

What do you all think now that the season is over?
