[QUOTE="Newman, post: 1248001, member: 528847"] I feel bad for Groce and I feel bad for the players. Even if it was bad luck, at a certain point it gets hard to break a habit and currently it's a habit of losing. We still have an opportunity to turn the season around but we have to beat a quality team or two before conference play to at least give us some confidence during the first stretch of conference games. Winthrop and WVU probably won't be bad losses at the end of the season but we need good wins, period. I won't watch the recording but I'm hoping that the meltdown is more because of WVU's strength and quality as opposed to incompetencies with our players and coaching staff. I still have hope, but it'll surely fade fast if we can't get a solid win in the next couple of weeks. I definitely don't blame fans for being upset or fed up. Regardless of what happens, this season is the where we'll find out for sure if Groce is the guy for the job or not. I hope he is but if he doesn't start winning, his likeability becomes meaningless. That's a tough thing to say about a terrific guy so I hope we don't have to cross that road. [/QUOTE]
