[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1353427"] No doubt about that. And frankly, anybody "ragging on the team" should take a step back and look at the big picture here. This is a really flawed team who has very little experience playing together. We are going to take our lumps this season and hope that we build toward a successful 2018-19 season. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're holding this team to an NCAA tournament expectation, that's fine. But it's probably not a fair bar to set for this team -- and apparently the B1G coaches and media would agree. We have a chance to be really good next year. But this year is going to be rough on many occasions. Even still, you have to be happy with the potential that exists. I'm not one of those guys who says "enjoy the ride", because frankly, competitive sports at this level is about winning. But this is an "enjoy the ride" sort of season. [/QUOTE]
