[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1870098, member: 590800"] Yeah, I chose not to look at the seasons in question exactly like you did, but 2003 especially really disappointed me. We were a last second foul away from being Big Ten champs for the third straight year (a streak that, with that win, could have eventually reached SIX straight years after 2005!), and our loss to Notre Dame was just SUCH a bummer. IIRC, we also didn't look so great in our First Round win. 2021 was almost so shocking to me that I just felt numb. There really wasn't a moment where I truly thought we were going to lose to Loyola until reality smacked me in the face that time had run out. :( UGH, I had to take my last final of my MBA program online after that game, and it was the worst grade I got in the entire 2-year program by far, I was so distracted. :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
