This season reminds me of 1995

[Sirhouseman]

Anyone feel like this year is similar to the '94-'95 season in terms of crazy close losses?

Jan 11, 1995 at Michigan L 82 - 83
Jan 14, 1995 vs Purdue L 83 - 84
Jan 28, 1995 vs Minnesota L 54 - 55
Feb 1, 1995 vs Illinois L 74 - 79

I was 13 in 1995, and this feels nothing like that. And I felt all kinds of interesting things when I was 13.

Yes and I have alluded to that in my post game stories from the Wisconsin and Minnesota losses. Those one point losses were all in succession and I think Andre Woolridge missed three game winners.

Umm...OK? I was 16. Nice predictable response.

 

[WindsorHawk]

Yes, it's exactly how it feels. Okay, I was 29 and remember it all too well.

Eric Snow from Michigan State also threw in a buzzer beater in East Lansing to defeat Iowa 69-68. Another one in 1995. Heartbreak after heartbreak.

I remember that even though I was only 9.

good comparison on a number of levels

two young teams that will return their nucleus for the following season

two teams still finding cohesion

talent on the 94-95 team was much higher at the top end (4 parade and/or mcdonald's aa)

depth is better on this team

like the 96 team, this unit will make strides next year, but not a big leap.

like the 96 team, 9-9 won't make the dance
