[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1838184, member: 590800"] We have been SO spoiled recently, haha. Coming off of a relatively dominant stretch in Big Ten play (winningest team over the last three years) that produced a few Big Ten banners and a #1 seed, we then replaced FIVE STARTERS so effectively that we were ranked top 20 preseason and quickly got two wins over top 10 teams TWO DAYS into December ... I think a lot of us felt "2001 to 2006 invincible" again, haha. Well, we are back down to Earth! If we have a dominant win tomorrow and win in Evanston while at least looking "tough," everyone will change their tune again. This team is in a funk, and I think it has contributed to not just losing but losing in a way that makes us LOOK disinterested, which hits especially hard to us as fans in a game as important as Braggin' Rights. Here's to getting through it and being a dangerous team in March, which was always the goal! [/QUOTE]
