It has been about nine days since the UH basketball season ended, and it feels like it’s been a month. The way the game ended hurt for a few days, but it was surprisingly easy to move past. Why? Because this season was special and the journey was so fulfilling, one unfortunate possession will not define this team, and it does not come close to telling the story of this season.

The achievements almost speak for themselves: Back-to-back Big 12 regular season championships, the Big 12 tournament championship, a one seed in the NCAA Tournament, Midwest Regional champions, and national runner-up. This team cut the nets down three times and won every title you could hope to win, except one.
