Rebelled Against

The Men's basketball team had a great year but it's over! We lost to UNLV in the second round of the tournament 74-68. For most of the last two games our shots simply weren't falling, committing way too many silly fouls and turnovers, and at times our seniors didn't seem to realize it could be their last game. But even though our season ended going 4-4 in the last eight games, it was successful. We set school records in wins with 30 and Big Ten wins with 13. We spent all but one week in the top 10, and reached the #1 ranking for the first time in school history. Alando Tucker became our first First-Team All American since the 50's, and the Big 10 Player of the Year to name just a few of his accolades. We were already on the college basketball map, but this season helped put us right in the middle of it. It's disappointing to see such a great team end so poorly, but it won't be the last time Bo Ryan fields a fantastic badger team. So as sad as it is to have the season end, it really was a special season!
