We didn't have Larrier that year (not that he was a big boon to his teams later on), but I still maintain -- not to take this thread off the rails -- that this, even moreso than the post-championship letdown year and the embarrassing trainwrecks of 2017 and 2018, was the worst coaching job of KO's tenure and the surest sign that he was becoming unfit to lead this program.

The roster construction was actually pretty good, but the coaching (both team and individual) was atrocious and the whole was much, much less than it should have been, given the sum of the parts. This should have been a top 15 team wire to wire and a serious threat to make the Final Four, not one that struggled to stay on the right side of the bubble and needed a miracle shot to lock in a Tournament bid before no-showing against a #1 seed (albeit after a nice comeback in the 8/9 game against Colorado).

This was an all-time fumbling of an opportunity to contend.
