[QUOTE="21ChampaignSt, post: 1870095, member: 748616"] Pleasant surprise: 2013. Groce's first year. Didn't have high expectations going in but the team won Maui, started 12-0, reached the AP top 10 and came one bad call away from the s16. Dissapointment: tie between 2003 and 2021. We know what happened in '21. '03 was Cook's senior year. Dee, Deron, Augie's freshman year. AP top 10 ten team, B1G freshman of the year and player of the year, BTT champs, and then got beat by ND pretty handily in the second round...which just happened to be the first game I ever attended in person. Yes, '03 and '21 are still objectively very good seasons. But there's something about the pain of an abrupt, unexpected ending that stays with a person. [/QUOTE]
