IU could have claimed second place in the Big 10 since Wisconsin refused to do any backsliding for the last two games of the regular season (& BTW in conference action). But no, they let me down when they fell to Penn State in overtime yesterday. So much for a confidence boost when it's most needed, right? Well, them Purdue Boilermakers grabbed second place instead & IU's wondering where they went wrong as they have now fallen into third (& are in fact going to stay there as the #3 seed in Big 10 tourney play).
True, we can take comfort in the fact that the Hoosiers have had one of their better seasons in ages; you can't go wrong there. But for IU to grab third in Big 10 play...now that's a little disheartening. If they didn't play lousy in their away games against PSU & Michigan State, they would have at least claimed a tie with the Badgers. They didn't win either of those games though & now I'm like what the...?
Yeah, I know I'm crestfallen. Hopefully IU will give us something to feel good about if they grab the Tournament Championship. Purdue's women did it last night for the nth time in as many tries (& that as the #3 seed coming in). Can IU's men accomplish that feat as the #3 seed? It's not beyond the Hoosiers to pull off the impossible; if the Lady Boilermakers can do it, the men of Indiana could just as well show the doubters a thing or two about following your dreams.
