2 years ago the coaches thought they'd have Trae & McGusty to go w James, Odomes, Manek, & Doolittle. After last year -- Trae being so much better than expected & McGusty being so much worse -- they had to patch it together with duct tape & rubber bands. The fact that they were able to do that & get a team that most here even thought would be sub .500 back to the tournament is a credit to the coaches & the team's leaders.
When you look at those who didn't make the tournament like Texas, TCU, Alabama, NC St, Clemson, Notre Dame, Arizona, & other similar Power 5 teams (+ really good non-power 5 schools like Creighton & Wichita St.), it's really nice to hang another banner, especially in a rebuilding year.

Unfortunately Trae Young was immature and did not unite the team.

If this was true -- and I find it laughable -- it speaks even more highly about the job the coaches & team leaders did the last 2 years.
