The Big Ten finally passed us up this year after yesterday's games. We're now the 4th rated conference

I was optimistic going into the year and I'm more optimistic now seeing us play close with 2 of the 3 best teams in the conference. Would I like to win those games? Absolutely. Should we have? Probably. But we are a very young team. We're going to have bumps in the road. Not many people had us playing those 2 teams even close, so I like what I'm seeing and this team plays with heart, which is very important. They did not seem intimidated on the road (until the last minute) against West Virginia.
I think we'll have a better season than most expected, and the future looks very bright (even without a star big man in sight).
Pomeroy also says we are the 343rd luckiest team in the country.
So we have that going for us....which is nice........ ;)
If this team can figure out how to finish, and really overcome the FT shooting woes, we're capable of doing some real damage.

And if we do not get our act together, we are also capable of only winning 16 games.
