I enjoyed watching the Rockets all year, thought their offense was exciting and that they played defense for a stretch of games near the end of the season.

Unfortunately, after watching our last two games, and seeing the teams that are still playing, I think we were all a little overly enthusiastic about what may have turned out to be fools gold. In retrospect, the team was far superior to the bad teams in the MAC, but not nearly tough enough to compete with anybody good. And while we could defend the likes of Eastern Michigan and BG, Kent and UM exposed our defense for what it really was.

There had been talk about being an elite-eight team. Does anyone watching the teams that are still playing really think we could compete at this level?

Pono, we don’t know each other, but I’m interested in you opinion.
