Madness: Disappointment without Perspective

Trey Burke led Michigan to a share of the Big Ten regular season title in his freshman season.

If you haven't been taking note of this year's March Madness, the Big Ten is doing well (<-Michigan degree to good use). The Big Ten is doing really well. In fact, the only school that didn't win its first round game was Michigan. As I write this, Purdue is leading Kansas. There could be 5 Big Ten teams in the Sweet Sixteen.

To me, this is at first depressing. But then I remember that this was supposed to be a lean year. Michigan was supposed to be a middle of the pack team. Instead, they won a share of the Big Ten regular season title. That is something.

What's more is that Michigan has players that have been there, which will be helpful when players like Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III are coming in to take us to the next level. There's not a lot to be disappointed about because it was a great season.
