Absolutely wrong.
Beat Iowa twice, scUM twice, won Bragging Rights vs Miznoz.....won regular season B1G.
This was a successful season.
"The NCAA Tourney is all that matters"....is a terrible way to look at our team. Or any team.
It will be disappointing not to advance...but it's not a reflection on the entire season.
No one out-Pizza Hut's usI used to think some these ugly types of games we get in were because of the how the other teams played us. I'm starting to think it might be us.
Hot take: we played really well after the first 7 minutes.
The obvious: we were 8 point favorites, but won the last 33 minutes by 16
Despite the 7-0 start, we held them to 20 in the second half.
We got open looks and got to the line.
Shots just didn’t go in.
Ok, our defensive boards were crap. But otherwise, a lot better than it looked.

How about 6 for 8?!
Was going to post the same exact thing. My dad says that phrase all the time.

And atomic bombs.
Coleman Hawkins is the kind of B1G player fans of the other 13 teams loathe, but Illini fans are glad he's on your team (most of the time).
I am enjoying a little Four Roses Small Batch
100%. I don't view last season as a disappointment either. The Tourney was a disappointment, sure. But taken on the whole, it was a successful season, and I think we can say the same about this one if we lose. Also, we're a 4 seed. A 4 seed losing in the 2nd round is maybe a slightly below average result, not some huge disappointment.

I just got home from the bar watching the game with a DC Illini compadre. We sat for a good 20 minutes afterward trying to fathom how we won.
The cliché is that defense wins championships. Defense wins tourney games, period. It was the only reason we were even within shouting distance of pulling this one out.
DMFW has been joined, and will ultimately be succeeded by, CFH. Just savage and relentless on that final defensive stand in the way DMFW was flying all over the place in the final five seconds v. Iowa.
It just feels good to be on the surviving side of one of these. Bring on Sunday. I'm pumped. Gonna be as hard to get to sleep tonight from euphoria as it was Thursday February 24 from despair after OSU.

I heard it from mine, too, and have used it on many a student who lamented that they "almost" studied enough for a test, etc
No one out Pizza's the Hut.

So your coaching strategy is to throw freshman into a one and done tourney against senior guards and see how it goes because "you never know"??

Time for a little bourbon.
Why the glass?
I stand corrected. I just wish Frazier, Plummer and others would try to Pentwater more than just curbelo.
Can I come over?
Penetrate. Damn autocorrect.
