5 positives going into next years hoops season

Done with the shitty season threads. It's over. So my 5 positive things to look forward to going into next year.

1. Clark - Thought the kid displayed some heart. The raw emotion after missing the 2 FT's. The hustle play that ended his season. He's not the most talented, but talented enough that with that heart, that I think he'll actually be just fine next year.

2. Years worth of coaching experience for KA. There is a difference between D2 and D1, much less high major D1. Any D2 coach would need the experience to adjust. I do think KA is smart enough that I think he learned from his mistakes.

3. The statement year is over. I am convinced that KA sacrificed this year to make a statement. Kind of like boot camp. Tear them down to rebuild them in the shape you want them. I suspect that if this were year 3, half of the suspensions or more that were handed down would not have been handed down for the same conduct.

4. Maturity of all players. Pretty self explanatory.

5. Schedule. I would bet our OOC schedule will not be as difficult as this past year. Getting confidence early next year will be important for this group.
