Yes, big congrats and thank you to the team. They played unselfishly and cohesively all year, and you can tell how much they respect, admire, and appreciate each other. I'm thrilled we got back to the Elite Eight and for half a game absolutely took it to the defending national championships. We simply didn't have the personnel in the paint to eke it out for 40 minutes, and in the end, the law of averages overtook our exceptional effort.

Big kudos to Smith - she, like McPhee before her, transformed over her four years on the Farm, and is such an eloquent, captivating, thoughtful representative for our student athletes. I can't wait to see what she does next, and so glad she got All-American honors to wrap up her senior season. Given how little regard our senior class had as recruits, I'd say each of them developed well above expectations - a credit, as always, to Tara and her staff.

Carrington and Williams also took big steps forward this year - Williams, in particular, played the kind of game that suggests she's ready to be an All American next year. Absolutely terrific.

Looking forward to next year and to our incoming class - I think we're in for a few very special years ahead.
