Season notes:

Coached by Clem Haskins (8th season).

According to the NCAA, our official record for all years from the 1993-1994 season through the 1998-1999 season is 0-0 due to a widespread academic scandal. This also wipes out all post-season appearances during those years, including our 1997 Final Four appearance and our 1998 NIT title. I have left the game scores and Big Ten standings as they were at the time, but offically speaking, it's as though we didn't even have a team those years.
