I wouldn't say I have no expectations for this year's team - I would hope they can at least match or improve on what they did a year ago. That said, the Big Ten is tough and I don't think the Hawks are quite "there" yet so won't be shocked if they don't make the NCAA Tournament this year. I think the team has a lot of good pieces in place, so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Still are pretty young in certain spots, though.
So I guess I'm still not sure exactly what to expect this year. Agree that the team will be fun to watch though, regardless. Franball - gotta love it!
