If MU loses in the next round, how do you rate the season?

[tower912]

I am of the opinion that any sweet 16 is a successful season.    House money now.

[nyg]

Heck, at the start of the year I would have thought just making the tournament was an accomplishment..

[MUBBau]

I think the fact we won conference and are already in the Sweet 16 makes it an excellent season, especially after what we lost from last years team.

[brewcity77]

I really hate to say it, but I'll be disappointed. At the Haunted Hoops Fish Fry, Buzz said that the Sweet 16 was no longer good enough. I want to see them pass the Sweet 16 test this year and get to the Elite 8.

Win Thursday and this year is an absolute success. Lose and while it will still be a good season, I'll be disappointed. Of course, I also had much higher expectations than most did for this team going back to last season.

[Newsdreams]

It would be successfully specially for what the expectations for this team were - Picked to finish 7th Big East and some people thinking it a bubble team.

[Slim]

It's obvious how the voting will go. An overwhelming majority will consider the season a success.

It has been an odd odd wonderful year.

The condensation, the bat, lining the teams up the wrong direction in overtime, Buzz dancing. these things just don't happen. A preseason 7Th ranked conference team making the sweet sixteen. The Syracuse game was the most exciting game in recent memory.

I had a great time - and we're not done.

[MUSF]

If the season ends next week, it will be the end of a great season.

This team exceeded almost everyone's expectations, and it's been a hell of a lot of fun watching them do it. The guys play their butts off and Buzz should have been coach of the year.

GREAT season.

[AlienWarrior]

We are Big East Champions! Anything less than Atlanta would be a disappointment at this point. Actually, if we do get to Atlanta and not win it all, then that would be a disappointment too.

[Earl Tatum]

Boy, Wisconsin Badger Nation Badgermaniac Board under title "HOT" really crying about MU, about how we cheat and being lucky.
About MU Player Sex Scandel etc. Also, another is ripping Ryan about embarrasment being out the last 2 years in the first round.
LOVE IT!!!

[Scooter22]

I actually had Badgers going to sweet 16 also, I wanted them to shut up Henderson from Ole Miss, who is an arrogant jerk in my view.  Too bad they couldn't do that.  But, if Badger fans want to get rid of Bo Ryan, they need to take a step back and look at 12 straight NCAA tournaments and never a finish below #4 in the Big 10.  Are you crazy, Bucky nation?

[Goose]

Exceeded expectations weeks ago. Great season regardless of what happens next.

[muarmy81]

I honestly didn't think we were a S16 team after all we lost so this season has exceeded my expectations.

[bilsu]

There should be more than two choices. I would of voted great season, given what this team has accomplished with so little offensive ability. Besides that the worse case senario is 25-9. There will be a lot of teams that win 20+ games, but significantly less teams that lose less than 10 games.

[real chili 83]

Effin awesome.  Didn't see that voting choice.

This week is gravy. 

I do plan to ask for seconds on Saturday.

[BallBoy]

I would give Marquette an A for the season.  If we make it to the Elite 8 then it is an A+ season.

+1000. Fans should NEVER just be satisfied with a Sweet 16. At least not MU fans, not anymore. The players and coaches won't be, why should we?? I, as well as Brew City know what this team is made of. They have at least one more win in them.

[AlienWarrior]

I would give Marquette an A for the season.  If we make it to the Elite 8 then it is an A+ season.  

So, if we won the championship, how would you rate the season since an Elite 8 is an A+ in your book?

[bilsu]

To me the only disappointemnt in this season is losing in the first round of Big East tournament again.

[brewcity77]

Right now I'd say a B. We made the Sweet 16 each of the past two years and I still feel this is Buzz's most talented team, which is why I expect more. Here's my grading scale:

B  Sweet 16 (where we are now)
B+ Elite 8
A- Final Four
A Title Game
A+ I'm sure you all know what that will take...

Now that makes sense

Sounds like Buzz has a sub-3.0 for his tenure here

[Lennys Tap]

We were picked 7th in the Big East. RPI predictor had us on the wrong side of toe bubble on January 1st. So, our first ever Big East championship and a sweet 16? Already an A+, anything else just adds another +.

[buckchuckler]

I'm just not sure why this matters.  This season has been great.  Ups and downs, great games, sweeping Pitt and Cuse, 2 wins by 3 points in the tourney, can't ask for more than this.  That game yesterday was the most perfect college game you could ask for.  That alone was worth a season.  It has just been entertaining as heck. I love this season.

Not at all, it's a sliding scale. I hardly would have graded the 2009-10 team poorly for their season when I thought they were at best a NIT team preseason. I simply had higher expectations for this year's team, and feel that any season where we get above a B is a special, special season.
