[QUOTE="FGCUIllini, post: 1678748, member: 653677"] Was thinking the same thing after the late-game mistakes/collapse/hero ball in the Marquette game, and yesterday's disaster. Note, I turned the Cinncy game off when we went down 30-29 in the first period. My gut told me to, and I am glad I listened when I checked the score later that night. My fear watching this team post the first two games is we have no true "leader/voice" holding people accountable and calling people out like we had last year with Ayo. Trent and Damonte I was hoping would be those voices, but not seen it so far. I think this team REALLY was feeling themselves going into this season with all the buzz/pre-season hype, Kofi coming back, etc. I think as a collective whole they took their eye off the ball, mailed in the required effort, and it has shown in these past few games (loses). Lastly, BU has some serious issues to address, and coaching to do to right this ship before B10 play. The players also need to do some SERIOUS self-reflection also to refocus and but in the work or we're going to be lucky to get into the dance this year. [/QUOTE]
