Sitting at 19-9 we are hoping that our name will be called on selection Sunday in a couple of weeks. Winning our last four games is something that we said we were going to do a couple of weeks back and tomorrow night we look to finish that off against Penn State and hopefully get an NCAA tournament bid. Our teams still knows we have a lot of work to do, but we are having such a great time going through this experience of a lifetime together. It's an unbelievable feeling.
Anyways, last week a game that will really stick out in my mind is the Iowa game at home. The Barn was going crazy as we pulled out a really tough victory, I don't know if I've ever heard this place so loud. It was really awesome. As for the other things that are going on here at the U it's really been great. Everyone's starting to see light at the end of the tunnel with school ending in a couple of months and summer starting. But that doesn't mean it stops now, we just finished mid-terms this last week and man that was a relief to get over with.
The campus is also really starting to get basketball fever; everyone is really trying to support us with whatever lies ahead for us. It feels real good to prove everyone wrong who said we weren't gonna be any good, but that's the character this team has. I gotta head to class, so everyone take care.
