Welp.
Shut it down. We will be better next year. I believe this. I really really do.

A microcosm of the season
A season I look forward to forgetting.
So much talent, very little accomplished minus two very early season wins.

We won’t recognize next year’s team
They are who we thought they are. (heavy sigh)

Thankful for the contributions of Shannon/Mayer, but I think it’s clear BU’s system works best with continuity

Built for the Indy 500.

Ugh. I ain't gonna lie, that was a problem with liking this year's team. What happened to us being a "player developmental program"?

Can't pin this entire loss on Hawkins, but man it really sticks in my craw how much he talked before this game about turning heads and shocking people in the tournament. And then we played like this.
Missed layups dumb unforced turnovers cost us this game. We forced things way too much. It is like this every March. I can’t remember the last tournament game we played well in
Well, I didn't want to put this out there before the game but I really didn't see us winning today. The past month has revealed our true colors. We're an average team so today's result is totally unsurprising.
We heard for 11 or 12 months that this team was built for March. Turns out it was built for November and November only. This season is a failure on BU to bring these separate talents together and it's a failure on the players to put their individual goals aside for the good of the team.
I'm not saying BU should be on the hot seat. Everyone has failures. They dont define you. But you have to learn from them. And I'm hopeful that BU will and we'll be better next year.

thanks for all the hard work everyone put in. unfortunately, for whatever reason, the talented individual pieces never formed a cohesive team
Appreciate the positivity!
Back to the basics for Brad--recruit high character freshman who will stay 3+ years. If your success rests on 1 year transfers being your best players you're not winning anything. And if you're planning on internal players who have never been that guy to be that guy you're not winning anything.
On to next year.
On to next year.
