The Cats have a good chance to post a third straight winning record in conference play. The last time that happened was 1941, the last of a four year streak under Pappy Waldorf. Since then, Ara, Agase, Barnett, Walker and Fitz have had two winning years in conference but not three. It would also be a great complement to the basketball team breaking .500 in basketball. In the dark ages, it seemed that neither team would ever be relevant in the Big 10, and having both as contenders is great to see.
