Well the streak had to come to an end at some point, and that point was Sunday afternoon in West Lafayette. I think a lot of people saw it coming. A tough place to play on the road, the third game in a week, fourth road game in the last five, down two players…it wasn’t a shocking result.
But before we move on we need to take stock of how damn impressive the streak was. Twenty-one straight regular season conference wins in a row. That’s incredible. And this isn’t Villanova beating up the Big East, this is the Big Ten.
