Perhaps next year we’ll figure out how to play ball screens, consistently box out, and all the other little things we were average at this year. Michigan got a lot better on defense once they added Yaklich to the staff.

Because returning all but 2 starter (more than likely) gives little hope for any improvement.

Which one of Babb and Shayok is getting a 6th year?

We’re likely going to lose at least 4 out of the top 8. The late season collapse should make the drop off less drastic though.

A lot will depend on how the roster shakes out in the next 10 weeks. We need at least 1-2 more contributors. We also need to develop guys Haliburton and Conditt. They have high ceilings but we can’t have them regress like Cam Lard and Wigginton.
Wigginton didn't regress. Lard's problems are 100% his fault.

Wiggington - Gone, NBA. If he could transfer without sitting out, I’d say that, but I think he’s had enough here. No sources, gut feeling.

THT - Comes back. If Wigg a year ago needed to come back, THT absolutely needs more seasoning. This ones easy. Will he listen to reason, idk.

Lard - I’m guessing he’s back pending he can hold it together in the off-season. He was really good vs Wesson last night.

Will we lose Lewis or Griffin from the bench? It’s possible.

Off-season will be interesting. I hate that we have to think about it already.

This season/tourney loss will age differently than some our past ones.

No one to blame but ourseleves and in my mind is a "what could have been?! As we all know KSU wasn't the best.

Streaky.....too often a few slumps lead to a few games....several minutes in games, etc.

Get hungry and let this sting motivate the young guys
