[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 2003367, member: 748820"] No offense, but using this statistic is a very lazy way of fitting a particular negative narrative. Last season the team had many known flaws, and still had a chance of making noise last year. Not to mention, a vast majority of those quad 1 losses were road B1G games. It is hard to win on the road in the B1G, especially given how deep the conference was last year. This season, the team has struggled a bit in Quad 1 games, but outside of Marquette and the clunker against Maryland, these Quad 1 losses were true road games. Some of the other wins might move up to Quad 1 depending on how the season plays out. While it looks disappointing, I take that statistic with a huge grain of salt. Do you not recall winning the B1G tourney (should have been tied with Michigan for B1G champs) and getting a 1 seed in 2021; winning B1G regular season title in 2022, and making the tourney safely three straight years (4 if you include COVID cancelled season)? This team has won [B]many [/B]big games the last few years, we just have not had the success we wanted in the NCAA Tourney. This season still has a ways to go, but there is reason to believe that this team can make a deep run. This narrative is very weak IMO. [/QUOTE]
