I am nearing 68. I remember reading about the late 1950's hawk championship teams. I listened to Zabel all the time during the great 60's and 1970 team. I stayed up until 1 pm to listen to the hawks upset #1 ucla around 1965 in Chicago. Hated it when Miller left. Lute built some great teams but he had our last Big 10 Championship team in '79.
Do you see what I just typed, it has been almost 40 years since we even tied for a Big 10 regular season title. My. I know it is difficult but as a fan who has contributed like many other fans and who bought tickets for many years I would like to see a regular season Big 10 Basketball title winning team.
Just on averages we should be getting a title team about once every 10 years. Take out a few of the lower level programs and that is the hawks getting a title once every 10 years,
I think it can be done. It should be done. The hawks were a very good program from 1955-1995 or so except for just a few seasons. Five titles in those 40 years and nothing since. that is mediocrity.
I do many more important things like spend time with family but I would like to see one more championship with family and friends.
