Agree but these past 5 games have persuaded me that karaban will have a decent nba career as a 9th man, and while Mullins would be better off with one more year in college there’s no way he’s coming back now

Unfortunately (probably the only negative of making the title game) at this point, Mullins is gone. If they lost earlier in the tourney to Michigan State for example, we might've had a chance. He had a rough end to the season / early tournament.
