- A frustrating season, from COVID to how it ended, but it's great to be back in the Big East.
- It was Year 2 with Hurley's players. One was ended early by COVID, the other was this bizarre COVID-shortened season. This remains a work in progress.
- The program still had a lot of mid-major talent, basically half the roster. We need a program full of high-major guys before we're truly back.
- We weren't nearly as good as many of our fans believed.
- Bouk is a hell of a player but he's not junior year Kemba or senior year Bazz. Those shouldn't be the comps anyway.
- Never developing a reliable #2 option was a big issue. Opposing defenses could focus way too much on Bouk.
- This was an underwhelming season for the Big East. I hope it improves significantly over the next few seasons.
- Our best win was against USC, nearly four months ago. Not great.
- Hurley has got to show us more with his in-game coaching. More adjustments, quicker adjustments. He has to find ways to generate better looks.
- Our execution across the board needs to improve. This team made a lot of bad mistakes, unforced errors, etc. It felt like the whole team was too tense and played in a rushed manner too often.
- In their own way, the Creighton BET loss and the Maryland loss were two of the most frustrating games I can remember. Absolutely painful basketball to watch and games that we could have won a dozen different ways.
- I can't wait to see a healthy Akok next year.
- We need shooting next season. Badly.
- I'm praying Diggins is a legit playmaker.
- Gaffney is going to make a nice jump next season.
