The class of Price and Fant was billed to be one of the best recruiting classes in school history, but so far they have only earned a single win in the NCAA Tournament (although, it was a record setter against Mississippi Valley State). If this team can stay healthy, it has a good chance to change that. Price and Fant have been so close to reaching their goal, almost knocking off top-seeded Kansas a couple of years ago, but this is their last chance to punch their ticket into the elite group of Hilltopper all-time greats.
It’s now or never. Last year, the team’s slogan was “Never say never,” so I guess that just leaves now. Get ready, Topper fans.
