So Law's knee injury had nothing to do with it? He hurt it the second half of the Iowa game, didn't play at Michigan, and was never the same player after that. You don't think that not having our best offensive and defensive player at full strength was impactful?
And the Pardon thing is a myth, imo. He had a ton of touches, but team knew where we were going and would double and triple-team him. Being as unselfish as he was, he kicked it out time and time again, only to have players miss open shots time and time again. If you want to rank them in order, I think Law getting hurt certainly ranks above your number 4, and I think the load on Law would have been fine if it wasn't for his injury; plenty of teams put a ton of a load on their star player, and their star player usually responds. Your top two are fine, but I think I might rank the Law injury as high as #2, he was that important to our team. When he could not get the life off that knee in January and February, our season was over...
