[QUOTE="azillini1, post: 1577750, member: 11654"] The media gave us a lot of hype with 2 future draft picks coming back. That coupled with expectations for improved performance from returning players and 2 highly touted freshman gave many expectations that this team was a top 10 team and possible contender. That's what many media members, fans and coaches thought. I am sorry, but I have rarely seen "the" team that many imagined this year. I just don't see the lightbulb going on and suddenly we start playing like a top 10 team. What is worse for me is that I see a team next year that will struggle to be a .500 team in the Big Ten with Ayo and Kofi gone. To achieve .500 next year we would have to see dramatic improvement by returning players from what we saw this year. [/QUOTE]
