Winning/losing head-to-head really should have nothing to do with it. My issue with Painter winning is that Purdue was expected to win the conference & they did + they have the likely national player of the year on the team. Winning with the best player in the country when you are expected to win is not award worthy. It should either go to Hoiberg or Johnson from Minnesota. Those are the teams that did the best compared to expectations.Mr. Bruntz on 1620 kind of hinted that he's speculating that Purdue's Painter will be awarded coach of the year honors. That would be a huge crime considering his program lost to Fred & company in the only head to head.
If UNO makes it in too, I think they are still alive, the state will be rocking come MM.So, most wins in a season is 26. We are at 22. Can you imagine the excitement around the program in the off season if we would hit that mark? 2 wins in the Big tourney then, the sweet 16 BABY!!!
Im not betting the farm on that. Just dreaming.
