I was overly concerned with last years non conference schedule. I loved our squad but over rated  the relative strength of our non conference  competition, was pretty close on conference versus where we ended up. 

Was not the first time I over rated non conference opponents over the years . COLE

Learned my lesson, will not let the trauma of Wojo influence  my season ouook thinking any more. We are in a beautiful new Shaka Era and I will just focus on our  team and let schedule play it self out.

Marquette's non conference was just about as good as advertised.  Illinois was better but Kansas was worse.  Wisconsin was better but UCLA was worse.

We played a 3 and 5 seed on the road, a 1 and 4 seed (who would've been higher if not for injuries) on a neutral, and a 7 seed at home.

You didn't overrate our schedule.  You underrated our team.  You constantly proclaimed the team was a "greater than the sum of its parts" team.  We had 2 guys who will be on an NBA roster next year, and guys like Kam, Ben, and Chase could get there someday too.

Coming to Milwaukee soon. Any bad neighborhoods to avoid? You know, ones with lots of dentists.

Dentists stay away from Milwaukee. So you're good.

Here in America we have extensive security and arms deals with countries that do state sponsored terror attacks on us.

And who pays for the cleanup. We (the taxpayers) do!

We had it last year. Our starting line-up was two seniors and three juniors.

That is my point, last year and this year.
