We certainly can't be any worse off with Austin back and Kaufusi becoming more of a shot-blocker as the season wore on. However, the biggest difference is that we'll actually have a 4 next year instead of having Winder, Bartley and Halford (yes, Halford!) defending opposing 4s. That alone will beat Pepperdine next year.

We aren't going to score 83 pts a game next year. But hopefully we won't need to.
