[QUOTE="FC Illiniman, post: 1351791, member: 631075"] To some degree, ups and downs should be expected. The difference will be the fact that BU has a firm grasp of the situation. Do you see the guys when they come to bench at the game. They know where they stand, if they do something good there is praise, if something wrong, they don't get, "That's okay better next time", there is correction , sometimes no conversation at all. BU is the coach, and not the friend. He has the respect, and there is no doubt who is in charge. The culture has already changed, the attitude of guys on the floor, and on the bench, they are involved and pay attention to what is going on. Finke has really taken a leadership role, hopefully Alstork, Black, TJL and Kipper continue to improve with same mentality. We lose 2non con games, would be a good pre-B1G schedule warm up, with a split or better in our NW/MD games. .500 B1G record might be good enough to Dance , but I see us 10-8, which would put us firm 6-8 seed b4 the NYC tournament.(Which we shouldn't be doing). We are heading in the right direction, time to see how far we are on BU schedule.;):illinois: [/QUOTE]
