[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1427756"] Yeah, the season is hardly over. However, with losses coming up in Maui (let's hope we can limit the damage to 1 loss, but that's not likely) and a tough start to the conference season as usual, we absolutely cannot afford losses to middle-of-the-pack teams on our home court. We can make ourselves feel better by suggesting that GTown is better than what they are, but in all likelihood, they're going to struggle to make the tournament just as we are. These are not games we should be losing -- Frazier or otherwise. And this really is becoming a trend. Play exciting basketball, and collapse late in the game. Is it preferable to Groce's style of crap ball? Yes. But losing is losing. At some point, we as a program need to learn how to win and expect it. Clearly we aren't there yet. [/QUOTE]
