Even though a big lead was built and subsequently erased against Nebraska, it was encouraging to see them get that lead in the first place. They also got up double-digits against Purdue and UCLA on the road. Now the next step in their growth is sustaining those leads.
I must admit, I was very low on the team’s tournament chances after that losing streak. For them to respond how they have takes gusto, so the coaches and players deserve a lot of credit.
Now I am in the camp that says their best basketball is still ahead of them this season.
Hopefully we get a couple big time games for Wilkerson, Dorn, and Devries all at the same time. I’m patiently waiting for that to happen - hopefully against Illinois, Purdue and/or Michigan State.
