Cats rally for signature win over No. 20 Michigan
The win over current #20 Michigan it's definitely a much-needed good win, and a step in the right direction.
For a true signature win, they desperately need to defeat on Feb. 17 current #4 MSU (23-3, 11-2). That would be their only real signature win of the regular season (especially if MSU doesn't lose much the rest of the way).
Link to anyone reporting preseason that we we to contend for a BIG championship? The only picks to win that I saw were Purdue and MSU; don't believe I saw us higher than 4th anywhere, which, at this pace, is a place we could possibly end up this year....Great win, glad to see the team clawing back. Spare me the snide self righteousness Fitz oops CCC. This team was supposed to compete for a (regular season) B1G championship. Sure, we all want them to make a run now, but it doesn't change their poor performance in earlier months.
That said, one thing he right about - the history of the program is dreadful. We talk about the football dark ages, but basketball historically is likely worse.
Anyway, he's human and probably frustrated. Get over it, win a bunch of games. Go Cats
