Does that mean another automatic extension, pay raise, and buyout increase?

Well deserved. While we did not play well against UCONN (a lot of which had to do with them being one of the best teams this century), I legitimately feel like the way we were playing going into the tourney, there was no team outside UCONN and a healthy Houston that we didn't stand a good chance at beating. And yes, that includes Purdue- while they beat us twice, I think the 3rd would have been the charm. Just a fantastic year.

Asking if he got a year etc for each, one for top 10 final ranking, one for elite 8.

Just think how we would have responded to someone who told us at the end of last season pre-portal edition that we would finish this season in the top 10 and ahead of Duke, UNC, Kansas and Kentucky. It is where we want to live but not too many of us saw it just a year ago. Now, let's make this our floor.
