Get Ready, Michigan Basketball Will Be Back And Better Than Ever

Better watch it, Big Ten

Get Ready, Michigan Basketball Will Be Back And Better Than Ever
Elizabeth Williams

Michigan's Men's Basketball Team went into the 2017-2018 season unranked and unnoticed, but they soon would prove sports commentators, The Big Ten, and haters that we were The Team to beat.

They said we would never be Michigan State. We did twice.

They said we would never win the Big Ten Tournament. We did.

They thought our tournament run was over in the second round to Houston. We won in a buzzer beater.

They said we would never beat Texas A&M after that. We beat them by 27.

They said we would never make it to the finals. We did.

Even though we did lose to Villanova in the finals, this season showed me that the future is very bright for Michigan Basketball.

As an avid Michigan Basketball fan, the loss to Villanova is sad, but I know the returning players will use this sadness and energy and channel it into the off-season to come back stronger and better than ever. Like Jordan Poole said in a press interview after Michigan's 79-62 loss to Villanova, "It’s life or death at this point."

I can not wait to be in Crisler next year when they raise The Big Ten Champion Banner and The Final Four Banner because even though we lost in the finals, it does not negate the successes we have had this season.

I will never forget coming back from behind and beating UCLA in overtime. I will never forget beating Ohio State in Crisler. I will never forget the buzzer beater by Jordan Poole. I will never forget winning The Big Ten against Purdue. I will never forget beating Michigan State in East Lansing.

Win or lose, I will always love Michigan Basketball and John Beilein.

Michigan Basketball is coming back better than ever next year, watch out. Forever, Go Blue.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
