[QUOTE="OurMottoisOskeeWowWow, post: 1345669, member: 618028"] If I can just add my two cents although I didn't see the game. While I'm not thrilled that we lost to EIU I'm glad at least that it's an exhibition so this doesn't count or hurt us come selection time should we be on the bubble. I'm hoping this becomes a learning experience for the team. This team is definitely going to struggle on the road that's for sure. There's still a lot of things this team needs to work on for sure and I hope Underwood pushes them in practice. I'm not jumping off the ledge yet. Hopefully as I said this is a learning experience and these guys work on their weaknesses. This is technically a young team since Alstork (a transfer) is our only senior. Not that it really means anything but North Carolina's championship team (the 2005 one that beat us) actually lost their first game to UNC-Wilmington who didn't make the tournament. I know I know it doesn't mean a gosh darn thing, but it takes time for teams to develop. Hopefully this team will look different come March....and also well come November 12 against Southern. Rather not risk a bad loss at home that would hurt us come Selection Sunday. [/QUOTE]
