For sure. But - and I know it sounds weird when describing a 22-win team - it still looked like we aren't really ready for Prime Time. Offensively in particular, it looked like the whole was still not greater than the sum of its parts. So it's pretty impressive that a team can get to 22 wins without dominating teams with poor records, and not (yet) beating teams with the best records.
Maybe it's because it's been a while since multiple players all went off for big nights at the same time, something we will need to beat the better teams, much less win the tournament. One more big time tune up before the tournament, so hopefully the guys can pull it all together for a big finish and a big tournament.

The pairing of White and MHH seems to have made it so only one can have a good game. MHH needs to come off the bench as a spark instead of starting. That's been a better role for him and for the team and we need Ross back for that to happen.

It's my understanding he wants to come back. They are working on getting him an NIL deal.

Interesting. Hopefully that pans out because Kelly has really improved his game this season and having a veteran big will be huge for next year.
