An Amazing Regular Season

At the start of the season, "best case scenario" was a bubble team that squeaks into the tournament.  After an impressive 85-74 win over Purdue to close out the regular season, IU is now squarely in the tournament and probably looking at a 3 or 4 seed.
Here's a few of the highlights of this improbable regular season:

* Beat #1 Kentucky

* Beat #2 Ohio State

* Beat #5 Michigan State

* 1 of only 4 teams to beat three Top 5 teams in the past decade.  1st Indiana team to accomplish that feat since the Perfect 1976 Hoosiers and only Indiana team to accomplish it in the regular season.

* Beat 5 teams that are currently ranked

* Swept Purdue with both wins in double-digit fashion

* Took back the state of Indiana -- 21-point win at Evansville, 16-point win over Butler, 11-point win over Notre Dame, 17-point win at Purdue, 11-point win over Purdue

* 11-point road win in the B1G/ACC Challenge

* 13-0 in non-conference play

* 24 regular season wins

Truly, an amazing and unforgettable regular season.

WE. ARE. BACK!!!

Now, what do ya say we go make some noise in the postseason!

HOO- HOO- HOO- HOOSIERS!

I don't know... Tom Crean still reminds me of "Bug-eyed Earl" from the Red Meat comic strip.
