THE SEASON SYNOPSIS
One of the most talented collections under Coach K. Five double-digit scorers for starters. A 21-1 start. A scrappy defender off the bench in Sean Dockery. While JJ Redick, Luol Deng, and the gang looked headed for big things all the way to the Final Four, that’s where the journey stopped via a blown lead late in the game against eventual champ UConn.
