[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1373006, member: 588522"] Im one of those people who believe we are about 5 plays away (half of which would've been mitigated by just holding the ball or in bounding correctly) from having 5 more wins. Even in situations that would be considered toss ups we've hung an o-fer up. Tough way to start a career but most of the talent is here, the system is so close to working, and our team is so young I think this will be the farthest low point this team sees in a while. Hard to swallow the NW, MD, and Iowa games because those are games teams win a vast majority of the time in, given our late game position in them. NEB even more so. WF, UNLV, NMSU, and OSU were all winnable, maybe not likely, but they hovered around 50/50 until late. This isn't the Groce team that gets down and stays there, there's fight in these guys. [/QUOTE]
