Message: [QUOTE="swish7, post: 1006430, member: 486"] Great post. As always, here are my honest and simplified thoughts as to which seasons "ended well" and which did not. I'll focus on seasons I remember. 1986-87, 31-7: Ended well 1987-88, 26-9: Sucked to lose in the 2nd round, but it sounds like there were valid reasons 1988-89, 30-8: Ended well. 1989-90, 26-9: Started #1, but lost in the sweet 16? With no good excuse? And the dawn of the JC era? Yuck. 1990-91, 26-6: Terrible ending 1991-92, 22-10 Yuck. 1992-93, 20-9: OK, considering the circumstances. 1993-94, 23-7: Ended well. Such a fun game. Watched it in the basement at the real Chucks with a good buddy from Kalamazoo, MI. 1994-95, 20-10: Ended well. That was a very competitive team. True "fierce competitors." You can't fault them for making one little mistake against the eventual NC. 1995-96, 29-9: Ended very well. Maybe my favorite team of all time. 1996-97, 19-13: Just yuck. 1997-98, 26-9: Ended well. 1998-99 21-12: Yuck. 1999-00, 26-6: One of those WTH seasons, really because of that last game. I believe I was in Dallas on business and watched it some rando Marriott bar. Jason Hart, one of my favorite players of all time. Whatever happened to Jadifi? 2000-01, 25-9: Yuck 2001-02, 23-13: Ended OK, given the circumstances. 2002-03, 30-5: Ended very very well 2003-04, 23-8: Ended well. 2004-05, 27-7: Yuck. As JB said, the NCAAs are all that matter. 2005-06, 23-12: Some good moments there, but dang that is a lot of losses. 2006-07, 24-11: 9-8 stretch? Yuck. 2007-08, 21-14: yuck. 2008-09, 28-10: Ended well, but recall the hopeless feeling that was playing against Blake Griffin. 2009-10, 30-5: Ended well, but losing to Butler hurts. They don't get the recruits we do, but boy do they develop players. 2010-11, 27-8; Blech 2011-12, 34-3: Ended well. 2012-13, 30-10: Ended very well, but the sinking feeling is that we just seemed helpless against MI. If I recall Southerland did jack, and Triche really struggled. Hate to see these seniors with huge leash, just sleeping by the doghouse at the end. 2013-14, 28-6: A WTH ending. People can dream up whatever scenario they want, but we lost to awful BC and GT teams, at home, and had yet another "once # 1" team that did not survive the 1st weekend. [/QUOTE]
