In the dance? They've been in the dance for two weeks. They still have a chance at a five seed.
Amazing what a smart administration and great coaching will do for a program.
FIRE AMANDA BRAUN!!

yes i know 1941, the third year of the tournament. so yes we;ve won a natty. I meant, in the modern era. after all 1941 was 79 years ago. the NIt was the bigger tournament in those days after all. Heck City College of New York won BOTH tournaments in 1950.

A title is a title. There aren't that many of them. You could make a very good argument that the "modern era" began with the three point shot and the shot clock. Guess what, that would mean all those titles by UCLA in the 60s and 70s wouldn't count, nor would those of Loyola, UTEP, or Marquette, just to name a few. The chances are high that no current high school basketball player has ever heard of Bud Foster, Don Haskins, George Ireland, John Wooden or Al McGuire. So what? The banners still hang, and they should.

Badgers are now 20-10 and clinched a top 4 seed in the BIG Ten Tourney. Beat Indiana and they at least share the conference title.

Speaking of titles. 😉
What a great story, especially after the horrible Moore family tragedy.
Gard is almost certainly Big Ten COTY again.
Coaching matters in this sport.

That kid is very talented. I hope he's in a good place mentally and can succeed at Valpo.
