As a fan, seeing my favorite team is lose over & over gain is painful and depressing, but I can only imagine that it is much more so for our players. I'm hoping this year is the ultimate motivation for our returning players -- to never want to go through this or feel this way again, and that they will certainly never take winning, and what it takes to win consistently, for granted, which hopefully is motivation to work that much harder to never have this happen again to them in their Marquette careers. I realize the season isn't over yet, but just trying to turn this negative experience into a positive one for the future.
