[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131210096, member: 1812660"] Not crying, just comparing and contrasting 2 different things. This year's team is better than last year's. If that is your only care or frame of reference, then be happy. Although that is a pretty low expectation given how bad we were last year. Personally after 28 games I prefer to compare how the team started the season versus where they are now. Unfortunately they seem to have regressed somewhat and are not playing to the potential they showed early in the season. Looked pretty good for 16 games and now the last 12 have looked pretty rough. I just think 12 games is a bit long to just be a slump in the college basketball world and is concerning for regression. Certainly it's not improvement which I think most would like to see in a young team. I think most coaches and athletes want see their team get better as time goes on. Since this young team looked so good to start and that generally teams, especially young teams, improve as the season goes along it's understandable that some fan's got their hopes up that this team would be more than just an improvement over last year. It's not doom and gloom, but we have the pieces to better than what we've seen over the last 6 weeks. [/QUOTE]
