The good news is...

We'll have plenty of free time in March to get the lawn ready for springtime.

Don't worry, there's always next season. Erm...you'll just need to make a "small" donation to the Wildcat Excellence Fund to get your seats back, but hey, that's the price you pay to watch a championship-caliber team!

Guess they knew something when they reduced the capacity of the new WRA......

We looked great at the end!

With each week the scalpers will grow more desperate. "Does anyone...ANYONE...need tickets?"

Last year now looks like an exception. Maybe we can upset illini and get 6-8 wins in the big.

Illinois looking very good @Wake Forest now. Mike tells us they are horrible but they are playing a lot harder than Chicago's Big 10 Team are........

They are plain better right now, playing like they've got nothing to lose. Meanwhile, in Evanston... :'(

I'm just glad they made it last year. We may have to take some lumps this year. Remember, progress isn't linear.

Seemed for all the world that it WOULD be, though . . . . .

Remember when we all laughed at Richard Pitino's squad 2 years ago? Now I don't expect we'll fall apart like that ..... but count me in on the success isn't linear camp.

I think last night was a poor shooting night. That's it. On a normal night we should have won by 10. Scottie had 0 pts and Falzon had 2. Both were way off and we still only lost in the last second.

This is still a good team. I still expect them to do well when the cylinders kick in. Outside shooting is a weakness right now, but will not be the whole season

Defense looked much better, until the last 4 seconds

Have you watched the games. Shot horribly in three of them. Got blown out of gym in first few half against maybe good teams. Lost to a mediocre ga tech team - and that’s generous. This is a mess right now.

Agree. We've had 1 good (tournament worthy) half of basketball so far. We got some serious problems. I don't know how anyone can be confident going forward.

Proof that a W instead of an L, on one shot of difference, changes perception and wipes away memories. That opener was pitiful.
