I am going to attend Vital's Senior Day and applaud his effort, his grit, and his commitment to the program. I am going to cheer my lungs out for him because he's a husky and will be for life. I feel devastated for him that he entered the program at the very moment that we did not have the talent, the coaching, or the continuity to put his supersub skillset to use.

I imagine in a different set of circumstances, Vital would have been the ideal 6th/7th man off the bench for a really good NCAA tournament team. He could have joined the legion of subs that we have all come to remember brilliantly through the rose colored glasses of successful tournament teams of the past. In a different world he could have been craig austrie, shamon tooles, albert mouring, or others. In successful teams, we remember the bright spots of those players and not the deficiencies. In many ways, it is our fault as fans for asking too much of a limited player.

But the kid is a warrior and a beast, and it hasn't worked out.

With that said, its time to move on and play the young kids starter minutes. These numbers are just impossibly bad.
