[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1459247, member: 586845"] The final record shows 21 losses, but the team was better than a "21 loss team" at the end of the season (and by extension, worse than a "21 loss team" early in the season). That alone is worth some optimism. There was marked improvement and player buy-in. It took a while for the team to put the pieces together, but at the end of it all, the bottom line is we had a brutal nonconference schedule before we started meshing, and yet [U]we won twice as many Big Ten games as we did last year[/U]. That last fact is important, in my opinion. We won twice as many nonconference games this year compared to last year in a much stronger Big Ten (top to bottom). We improved over the course of this season. We improved from last season to this season. Signs are pointing up. That said, can we please stop being blown out by Iowa and maybe finally get on the right side of Wisconsin next season? Pretty please? [/QUOTE]
