Welcome to Volume III of The Bilas Index for the 2015-16 season, and the final missive of the year 2015. This year has been a wonderful year for college basketball, and it is sad to see it go.
But, 2016 has the chance to be just as good, though in a different way. The Bilastrator does not root for any team and plays no favorites. But, The Bilastrator does have one hope and resolution for the New Year: for everyone to be healthy. Already, we have lost significant time to injuries for some of the nation's best and most indispensable players, such as Michigan State's Denzel Valentine, Duke's Amile Jefferson, Texas' Cameron Ridley, Arizona's Kaleb Tarczewski, UConn's Amida Brimah, Gonzaga's Przemek Karnowski, Iowa State's Naz Long, North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks, Oklahoma State's Phil Forte, Oregon's Dylan Ennis, Rhode Island's Hassan Martin, Stanford's Reid Travis and Vanderbilt's Luke Kornet.
