Its apparent that the staff and players are a bit lost right now but that doesn't mean the season is over.
We have a strong tournament resume and in my opinion its a done deal that we will be making the NCAA tourney this year.
We have Purdue and Illinois at home to finish up the season and we travel to MSU. We win 2 of those 3 games with ease and I wouldn't be surprised if we win all three of them.
Everything is a learning experience. I think that goes for the coaching staff as well. Fran has been hell bent on playing 11 deep for most of the season. It simply doesn't work in the Big10 conference and one of these days he will figure that out - hopefully sooner rather than later.
Fran has loyalty that rivals that of Ferentz. He loves him some gym rats almost to a fault. It has surprised me to see certain players in the rotation at times but it's his team and his salary that is at jeopardy. I don't agree with it at times but I still support the team and the program.
I'm still excited about how this season will end.
