Definitely overachieved. The best is yet to come.
Proud of this team.

I’m ready to get next season started!
Me too ORCAT. I love how much you could tell being a Wildcat changed some of these guys lives. Tonight was a reminder how much we overachieved. Expecting big things going forward.
I would agree. Pope will get his players and he knows what he needs. I'm looking forward to next year.
Absolutely. Still love this team and they'll hold a special place being Pope's first team and achieving what they did under all the circumstances.
Proud fan here. Sucks this group wasn’t at full strength, but it was a good run to the sweet 16!
We should all look back in a week or two and I would bet those upset tonight will have more forgiving attitudes. It's human nature, I suppose. I am looking forward to seeing what Pope can do with a serious upgrade in talent.
Loved the big wins over DOOK, Gonzaga and Louisville in the non-conference. It was a successful first year going to the Sweet 16 and constantly dealing with adversity from the injuries.
I look at this team as a foundation builder. We didn't win anything of significance but is a building block for the future.
We were preseason No. 23., so a projected 6 seed. We will finish in the top 16 and earned a 3 seed.
We had 9 top 15 wins with a roster built in a month, while only playing 7 early games completely healthy. We reached the second weekend for the first time in 6 years.
I hate how it ended tonight. But I won't let it take away from the joy I got out of watching these guys play for UK instead of their draft position.
I am now looking forward to portal season and then the long summer until the "practice reports" start flowing in. (Matt Pilgrim is a beast and Carrier doesn't miss.)

Great season,super impressive team playing under near constant adversity
So proud of this team. Will forever remember this group of guys and what they did for the program. They are the first building block for a foundation of the success hopefully to come.
Really first season I was emotionally invested since Wisconsin.
Thanks Coach.
I would call this crew the Sunrise boys....felt like I was coming out if a tunnel.
