[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 1131358, member: 932"] Yeah, I mean it’s better than 7-6. But the collapse down the stretch will always be the talking point. And it’s not simply that they lost. It’s the way they lost in those games. We didn’t simply get beat by teams that were better than us. We made a ton of mistakes or played with little effort with large portions of our team in four straight games and nearly went 0-4 after starting 8-0. There were bright spots in there for sure, but the team collectively played poorly over that stretch and lost three winnable games as a result. Looking back, we had a little luck to get to 8-0. But that’s how it always works. Then when presented with an opportunity we didn’t lose due to unlucky breaks. We lost because we played poorly. We simply didn’t take advantage of the opportunity presented to us. In the end, we were equally as inconsistent as we were in 2023 and 2024…we simply had all of our bad at the same time. So yeah, it’s hard to get excited about the holistic results from the season. And I guarantee the team feels the same way. Ask yourself this - do you think Brent Key feels like we made “the jump?” I’m betting he doesn’t. [/QUOTE]
