Trey Landers, Jalen Crutcher, Rodney Chatman (I think), and Obi Toppin have never played a minute of NCAA tournament ball. Ryan Miksell played a total of 8 minutes. And technically, AG hasn’t delivered an NCAA tournament appearance yet. (NCAA tournament appearances can be so over rated.)
I think we make the tournament next year. I just can’t see Jalen and Rodney never making it and I can’t see Ibi not making it back. I think about how players improved in the last third of the season. Rodney found his role again. Ibi worked his way out of a shooting slump. I except him to be on fire from the first game next year as a starter. He’s waited a long time to be a starter at this level. I believe he will bring it every night. Cohill just flat out manned-up. Jordy had his best games late.
Jalen is NOT going to leave UD without getting his shot to showcase his talents running his team on the NCAA stage. AG & Co will find a way to get next year’s team to the dance.
