[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1493390, member: 623415"] If your “wake up call” game is the first one of the season, I think you’re talking about a long season. I didn’t see the game, but the result definitely leads me to lower my expectations for the season. Over the last few weeks I’ve been surprised at the assertions that the team has depth, and this game seems to show I wasn’t wrong to be wary — especially with Tevian being suspended. And I’m not convinced we’ll ever see the Tevian we’ve all thought we would. Also, I saw at least one comments of “this is a game a Groce team would have lost.” Can we stop with that? I wasn’t a fan of Groce and felt he had to go, but he hasn’t coached here for going on 3 seasons. And while we might have been happy to see Groce go and find BU’s style more enjoyable to watch, the fact of the matter is BU teams have yet to win more games than Groce’s worst season. So if that was a game that a Groce team would have lost what are BU team losses that Groce would have won. All that said a win is better than a loss. And probably won’t be many more games like that for Frazier. Hopefully the team realizes they will be 1-2 if they keep playing that way and make sure that doesn’t happen. [/QUOTE]
