We still don't know if Carmody craped on the kids who played for him, or maybe we do know in the case of Coble. His silence towards his past players and the university that paid him millions is deafening. Now go post your Collins and Phillips hate on the Holy Cross board. Bill might even have something to say, or not.
I've heard the phrase, "Coach, you made the 347th easiest schedule in the nc of any team. Now you're 0-3 for postseason."
Shouldn't you be touching yourself to the Holy Cross box score right now?
It was the winningest regular season in Northwestern history.
Sounds like it's time for you to also go the Holy Cross and cheer on those high powered champs.
It was a BTT game and this year we faced a 10-8 Michigan. I would say that this years Michigan team is a lot more formidable than that years MN that lost 10 or their last 11. Just saying that winning a BTT game back then was more similar to winning a first round play in game this year.
First, every conference has a Rutgers like team (or two) and we only played them once. Back then, getting to play against MN in the BTT was closer to playing a first round play in game this year. Compare that years MN (that lost 10 of their last 11 and should not have been anywhere close to 58) to this years opponent in Mich that is now in the NCAA field of 64 and I would suggest that it was a welcome 8th win but was like winning a game against NEB, IL, or MN this year.
How was it winning against good to descent teams? We had 6 or our 8 wins that year against the bottom three teams in the BIG and the other two against 9-9 teams. so no wins against a BIG team with a winning BIG conference record. Basically the quality was pretty comparable. And we got to play 7 games against the bottom three teams in the conference that year vs only 4 this year ( 6 if you take the bottom 4 teams) We were forth worst and the only other games we won were against two teams of the four teams that were tied for the spot right above us. In other words for all the rhetoric, we really did not beat anyone that year either.
No one said it was a great season. Only a solid one at a similar level to those of BC (unless you figured that they were great)
You play the teams on the schedule. The fact is that during 2010/11 we did not really beat anyone in conference. We played 7 games against the bottom three and won 6 of the 8 games we won that year. The other wins were against 0.500 conference teams. Everyone else who you claim made the road so daunting, we lost to. So basically you could say we had two good wins vs marginal Dance teams and this year one against a better one. OOC wins also seem similar as well winning against an NIT bound GT. Just suggesting that the two teams were closer than you seem willing to accept.
I just feel that this year represented a significant point in the CCC era. Basically in changing coaches we were taking a step back to take two steps (or hopefully more) forward and this year represented the first of those forward steps getting us back to a similar level to where BC had gotten us to.
