[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1359959"] There's a huge difference between being "satisfied" that we lost, and accepting a sad reality that our team has a long way to go before beating the likes of NMSU is a "sure thing". Those expecting a "sure thing" against teams like NMSU or NW or even Wake Forest came into this season with a typically homerish expectation for what this team should be by late December. We are clearly on the disappointed side of the spectrum, but we're still within the expected spectrum of where most thought we'd be. And by most, I'm talking about media types, other coaches, etc. -- not the 70% on this board who had us dancing despite virtually no belief anywhere outside of Illini Nation that this is a tournament team.
