I really hope we have better luck with injuries next season.

It has KILLED this team's ability to win games like tonight.

It was going to be tough with ALL of the players Coach Pope brought in, but with 3 of them hobbled or completely out for half the season, it has been EXTREMELY tough for this team to compete against top teams.

Really a shame Pope’s first season has turned out this way. Depressing to be entering the tourney knowing we have a Sweet 16 ceiling because we are devastated by injuries.

We’ll have more talent and depth

The way this roster was constructed it could handle the loss of Kerr. But for the most part, losing 3-4 of their 5-6 best players is not recoverable against elite competition.

Very frustrating!

Healthy, we're at worst top 10. Probably top 5. We just got our ass kicked by a top 10 team while we have 3 guys out.
