Coach’s comments: “Next year becomes this year for some of our younger players. We have a lot of pieces but our points could come from anyone on any given night. We have all kinds of combinations, different pieces. It will be interesting. We will have to be patient. We will be battle tested in every game. The players who are gone have left their mark on our program. The foundation has been built.”
