re: What if Jordan Mickey returns next season, can we make the final 4?

We could have made it this year, probably could make it next year with or without him. So many chance factors come in at the end of basketball games it's tough to predict.

Hornsby hit the three at end of Arkansas game (no Mickey), Hornsby misses a three late in the game against nc state (Mickey).
Mickey had nothing to do with either of these plays. multiple tournament games will have come down to late chance shots by both sides if we were to make the final four. Just enjoy watching whatever talent we have and hope for some luck... That's the only way to watch basketball in my opinion lol

Having said all that obviously I think we are better with him than without him, but the final four will be within our teams ceiling either way in my opinion
