NCAA Tournament 2017: Thank you Minnesota Basketball

I was pretty down after the loss yesterday, seemed like a really disappointing end to the season. Saw this article today - written before the game yesterday. Reminds me of what this team actually accomplished over the last five months rather than just looking at what they accomplished in one game. They really did alter the expectations of the program in just one year - from a cellar Big Ten team to one of the best teams out of the conference.

Absolute truth. Great season, what a leap. Next season will come with expectations, and I think they will meet most of them. I am grateful for a fun brand of basketball, and a team that enjoys playing together. My biggest hope is that all of the newcomers will subscribe fully to the team mentality. If so, I expect are in store for an extremely fun ride. They are enjoyable to watch, thank goodness for that!
