The "fact" that the Badgers have not made the S16 in 7 years is such a BS copout. 1. Making the S16 is fricking hard. 2. Tourney was cancelled in a year the Badgers projected to a high seed. 3. They lost Hepburn one year.
4. One year they played #1 seed/champ Baylor (in a competitive game) 5. They didn't make the tourney one year after the backcourt was devasted by injuries. 6. They played an underseeded Oregon one year.
@THEbadgermaniac Yet the made it 7 times between 2007 and 2017. That was the expectation and the national perception of the program. It was the expectation then and should be goal/expectation now. Why settle for less?
@THEbadgermaniac Has WI put together a season that Purdue/Marquette/ILL has had? Has the staff put a run together as a lower seed or underdog like NC State? Or a mid level seed like Clemson? No There's no excuse to lose like we they did on Friday unprepared. That's a concern for all
