Not going to lie, it hurts more today than it did yesterday. And if it hurts this bad for me, I can only imagine what the players on this team are feeling, especially those that won't be returning. This year has been flat out awful for a lot of us (outside of sports). It has been filled with uncertainty, fear, and inconveniences in every aspect of our lives. And at a time when we needed distractions the most, they just weren't there. There were no concerts, no movies, no weddings, no events, nothing. As pandemic fatigue started to really come on strong, this team became the wonderful distraction that we all needed. Instead of spending my time looking up how many people passed away from covid, how many vaccines were distributed, and how people wanted to politicize a global health crisis, I was able to spend my days watching highlights from the previous night's game, scouting our next B1G opponent, watching interviews with the team. And it wasn't about beating some 'middle of the pack' B1G team to maybe be the last 4 in on Lundardi's bracket, it was about us being a legitimate top 5 team in the country. This season was so much fun, and once yesterday's wound isn't as fresh, I know I will always be grateful for that. Thank you to everyone on the team, the coaching staff, Dan, Underwood, and Whitman for being the highlight of the past year for me and for a lot of others. For once, I have a ton of faith in the people at the top. Maybe we won't be top 5 next year or in the next few. I don't think we're going to experience another tournament drought of 8 years again. I have complete faith in Underwood, and I cannot wait to see what he can do with this program in the coming years.
