As others have stated, this has already been a successful year, especially when factoring in the preseason expectations. That's why it's so entertaining to watch the whole season and enjoy the ride for whatever it's worth. Each season is it's on roller coater ride but you get to see the growth of these young athletes and it's amazing what they can accomplish in, not just one game, but the season as a whole.
My son's first year of college, this year, was at one of the colleges that won in the first four, and it was so enjoyable to attend their season games, and then to see them win their conference tourney, after being the 4th seed, then winning in the first four, was just wonderful.
UW isn't done yet. They are playing at a high level. It's been fun to see that play out and they are going to continue with doing good things in this tournament!
