I'd like to go with:
National Title
Big Ten Tourney Title
Big Ten Season Title
Final Four
Elite Eight
Sweet Sixteen
First Round (If we were to lose the first round, how many of our starters are injured?)
I once scored 21 points in my grade school basketball game, and fouled out. I call my grade school, Holy Angels, my alma mater as I was never accepted to any middle school I applied at.
Solid "B". Same finish without the infections and injuries, certainly a "C". Without those drawbacks, this team would have hypothetically jelled
and may have reached the sweet sixteen and beyond, an "A"!
As my Purdue alum better half and I watched Friday night, she reminded me how during the Michigan game, I paced the
room in the course of the commercials. The second half I plodded about during the time outs and . . . . She's a keeper, no?
