Really Proud Of These Kids

Oh man, UNO, Nebby first game, Minny, and Illinois 2nd game......what a difference those 4 made. We'd be solid in the bubble on just those 4. Welp...only one thing left to do. Win the whole Godd Damnnn thing in D.C!

19-9 overall and 10-5 in the conference. D@mn it. We'd still be a little light on marquee wins but some bad losses would come off and the record would look a whole lot better. Yeah, we'd be on the bubble for sure. No use crying over spilled milk I guess..

Um...that record is solid IN. See MN's status....same thing and their conf. record is worse.

They played tough last night. I was very impressed, although a loss would have been disastrous...you can't lose two consecutive home games to teams that are going to fire their coach at the end of the year and feel like you had a useful season.

I'm starting to second-guess the value of the CBI, though. A month ago I thought any postseason would be of value to a young team no matter what or where. Now I think the freshmen are completely gassed and it might not be terrible to just throw the towel in at the end and give them a month off.

I do not see the upside of playing in the CBI or any other bottom tier tournament.

Not an overwhelming feat to win the championship, not a lot of glory to be gained, and to lose in the first round would not be a good thing. I would have to take a couple of months away fron HN.....
