[QUOTE="bleedsorangenblue, post: 1359353, member: 10413"] With a day to reflect, this is about where I am. We are a young team making stupid mistakes. Would hope for a shorter learning curve but it is what it is. I think they will get better and start closing out some close games. However, the increase in the level of competition coming up has me concerned. I fear yet another season where opportunity was squandered by losses in the early winnable games. We may end up in the bottom tier of the league and I know many will not be happy. Should that be the case, I am willing to chalk it up to being year one of rebuilding. I like what I am seeing with BU and how the freshmen are progressing. Many of these guys would only be seeing token time if this team was still led by Groce. I am also seeing a return of a signature defense the like of which we have not seen for awhile. The soft teams of the past few years made me question being an Illini fan. This year has given me a team to support, whether they win or lose. [/QUOTE]
