[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1450924, member: 8500"] BU had very little to do with the scheduling. He was really only able to pick the UNLV game (which isn’t too tough of a matchup) and then the cupcakes (which we saw Groce play tougher cupcakes his last couple seasons). Any coach is going to say yes to Maui. Then there’s Braggin rights and conference battles out of our control. As far as making us better, who knows? Personally I believe a young team makes the most improvement by competing in practice and games just provide the finishing touch for development. Maybe if we play an easier schedule we have more wins but the team doesn’t work as hard because they think they’re better than they really are. Or maybe this team couldve stayed hungry despite the success and we could be squarely on the bubble right now. That would’ve been nice. [/QUOTE]
