You know what? As awful as the conclusion to this season was, I say screw it, let’s remember how truly kick ass and unexpected this team was. In November, this was a, “Rack up a ton of cupcake wins, get 1 or 2 non-conference wins that beef the resume up, pray we get 9 or 10 Big Ten wins, then maybe have a chance to get in with a win in the Big Ten Tournament” kind of season. Yeah, the goalposts moved quickly and set us up for disappointment - and I’m still disappointed - but this season was super fun and I think I’m back-tracking on my 2006 stance, which I made known in the comments post-Richmond.
