We obviously were also missing five players that were out for the year.

Half the team is injured coming back.

They have a great recruiting class coming in next year, and they have some key players coming back.

But I think also the mindset that Kara Lawson and her team is going to try and do is how do we overcome the elite teams?

How do we beat the elite teams?

Because that's the only thing standing between them

and a date in the Final Four.

Two years in a row, they beat the 1 or 1A team in the country, and they give them a run for their money only to come up short.

I know that part stings as well, but I just want to say hats off to them for a great, great season.

It was fun to watch them.

They had some games where they were blasting people.

You know me.

I love blowouts, Jason.

They were giving us a ton of them.

And they, again, took some teams to the upper limit and dug deep to try and pull some wins out.

They blazed through the ACC and were just within an earshot of the Final Four once again.

They will be back.

They're already lining up a loaded schedule.

We're getting UConn next year.

And so, again, it's those barometer tests that we need to start overcoming for this team to take it to that very next level and book their flight to Columbus next year for the Final Four.
