[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 2026809, member: 4716"] No matter what the level achieved, there are those who will always expect a plethora of National titles and say negatives about a coach when he does not win it all every year. Having been in the Indiana Field House at courtside on the center-line to watch the Hoosiers with no starter over 6'5" hand highly favored Ohio State a loss and the B1G title to the Illini in '63, I fully understand that it takes the ball to bounce your way occasionally for a any team to win against elite competition found in every game played in the B1G...let alone the Sweet Sixteen. It was special to watch the Lou Henson years when the Illini were always in the hunt. That is once again the case. I hope BU is around for at least 2 decades which will likely be long after my life ends. Watching his teams grow over the course of the season, especially this team, is so satisfying to this Illinois hoops fan. That said, a National Championship would allow me to rest in peace. [/QUOTE]
