[QUOTE="karmapoliceman, post: 1175941, member: 286566"] I think it's funny, not so much in a haha way, but more of a sad way, where we are now compared to a year ago. We played MICH a year ago to the day, albeit on the road. We lost that game. We lost this game. I remember Aubrey Dawkins torching nets last year. A no name at the time. He pretty much single handedly won them that game 365 days ago. This year? Different venue (we were at home!) different no name player. Same disappointing result. I watched the game at a bar this afternoon and refuse to look up the "career game" star of the night this time around. Sorry. Groce is lost as a coach. Not as a person. Not as a recruiter even. As a coach. As in "head coach" John Groce. I know. I. Know. The injuries. But you can't tell me with a straight face that ANY team can continually experience second half collapses (AT HOME even (!)) like we have without it being the result of something bigger than personnel. Sure, our interior presence is all but nonexistent. We're going to live and die by the three. Granted. But. We still got absolutely abused by MICH inside 365 days later on the same EXACT friggin' plays that cost us the game last year. We choked. This is getting real old. ILL [/QUOTE]
