[QUOTE="Deleted member 186590, post: 1560004"] While it was great to see some of our guys really step up in the game when Kofi and Ayo were not able to generate the kind of offense they normally do— the biggest disappointment for me is the realization we’re not on the same level as Baylor. I had dreams of this team being a National title contender this year and now I don’t think we are. Anything can happen in the tourny, but it seems we’re not on the same level right now- it doesn’t mean we can’t get there by year end, but we need a leap, not just improvement. both teams were off in a sloppy first half and we hung in there for 30 min, but when they got going we had no response. Even BU’s comments about watching the tape making him feel better was basically an admittance that -they are just way better than we are and we hung in for 30 min-type of realization on his part it will be a fun season to watch with frustrations along the way no doubt- but this is not a 2005 or 1989 type season for us- which was what I was hoping for [/QUOTE]
