Last season we lost games we were suppossed to win. It was like an over withdrawal from the bank. Very frustrating and maddening.

This season we will lose games we are suppossed to lose. But it will be a deposit for the future.

That's what it seems like to me. They will lose games but they will feel nothing like the losses did last year. 

Unless they lose to  :puke:   That will never change.  :icon_biggrin:

By the looks of our offense against some weaker teams i will say that we will lose some game we are supposed to win also but it comes with the package playing such a young team. 
On paper, I can always convince myself that the talent is there to contend among college basketball's elite, even if it's obviously foolish to expect it.

Isn't that how it is supposed to be?  We get better as the season progresses?  I would hope so, I know this Illini fan doesn't want to see any regression!
