There is a lot of sadness and even some doom and gloom on here today. I just wanted to say that this years team was one of my favorites over the past two decades despite the win loss record. They fought hard, I only saw one game this year where they looked disinterested. They got everything out of what they had. Never quit and showed the young pair what it takes to succeed. That impact will last.
Barney is probably the toughest player we’ve had in a cat uniform in ages. He could do it all, anyone that thinks he isn’t in the top tier of talent in the B1G is a goof. Berry contributed to two tourney teams, came back from an injury to play this season and represented his team and school with class. Big Matt, did his job. He anchored the defense and there is a noticeable difference when he leaves the floor. He didn’t whine about getting no chances in offense and didn’t try and do to much. These 3 guys are winning players. Leach is here for only 1 year but he too is a B1G player. Great addition. I can’t think of a team in the B1G that these 4 couldn’t get playing time on.
So let’s, celebrate their careers. They have been everything we could have hoped for when we got them. They didn’t have a ton of help this year but they produced more often than not. Too often we heard about bringing Ty off the bench, put in anyone but Big Matt, and Barney couldn’t hit the three. If we get graduating classes like this every few years we will be just fine.
