What do I always say about preseason hype, rankings and honors? They’re nice to have, but we don’t need them.

The whole country wrote us off by the end of December. People were talking about if Greg Gard was going to be fired and nobody gave us a shot of making the tournament.
You remember what we did next? We rattled off a bunch of wins, won the Big 10 regular season title and took the top seed in the conference tournament.
Now, flying under the radar doesn’t seem like an option in 2020. The eyes of the college basketball world are upon us.

Whether CBS Sports thinks we’re a top 10 team or not, I can promise that we’re going to ball out this year. You can take that to the bank.
