As with any team under consideration for a National Championship, key players need to remain illness & injury-free or heal in timely fashion from such. And good team chemistry built & maintained throughout the season is essential.

Each year's team has questions surrounding the roster, giving rise to optimism and rebutting skepticism. Threads like this are a showcase for posters to work out such energy.

It's been a marvel and joy in recently years to go further & further into each season before concluding that the team has no chance of winning it all. That wasn't even on the table not too long ago.

The pleasure of not closing a season with any loss at all (twice in a row!) distorts the reality that even last year ended with a sense that variable performance by an imperfect roster compromised further by impactful injuries was quite competitive with the eventual tournament winner that came together in the tournament to defeat other teams doing much the same.
