[QUOTE="GBPillini, post: 1206346, member: 13043"] The bolded is how I felt last year could have been with Rice and Egwu as seniors and Nunn and Hill as sophs. Add in a freshman Black, I thought there was reason to be optimistic. Then of course that team failed to make the tournament. Fast forward to this year, and take out the injuries I'm sure this team would have been better. Not sure 10 wins better give what we've seen of Groce's coaching, but it's possible. While Groce was unlucky with the injuries, with the arrests now and all the uncertainty, I just don't see this great rebuild ever really taking off - some of it through his own faults and some through unluckiness. But it is what it is, and I hope I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
