Indiana Hoosiers at Northwestern Wildcats (game thread).

The tough losses are unfortunate, but also moments that demonstrate to the very young team the level of effort necessary to succeed. I actually think this sort of seasoning is necessary to achieve any sort of postseason success.

Now, don’t get me wrong; I am not advocating a loss, even a tough one, as any sort of good thing. However, this team is learning the lessons it needs to learn and will break through eventually. We’re all seeing the signs.
