[QUOTE="EllderIlliniFan, post: 1375057, member: 8114"] Everyone on this board is feeling sorry for themselves because the team is not producing up to their expectations (ME INCLUDED). However, imagine what the players are feeling. When I think about how I would react to the frustration of long periods of going scoreless and 25 seconds of working my butt off on defense only to watch a dunk, would I degenerate into quitting or arguing and blaming my teammates? When I consider how the team might react to such frustration, I am amazed that they summon the energy to fight almost every game. If you are looking for something positive about the team and the way they are being coached think about how you would react if you were a player going thru what they are going thru. If they continue their fight against Purdue and MSU even in losing, they deserve some praise for the character to continue to fight. This may be building the culture that will eventually lead to results that are more satisfying to all of us. [/QUOTE]
