SMC lost their starting center 1/2 through the year.

GU has had Tillie miss games due to knee surgery at the start of the season, 4star recruit and former starter Antawn Watson lost for the year due to shoulder surgery. In addition, they had their future star point guard Brock Ravet (Washington state all-time leading scorer) quit the team the week of the first game (for personal reasons). They also had 3 players leave early for the NBA and lost 2 others to graduation leaving the cupbard very bare in the offseason. 

Look at the injuries wreaking havoc on North Carolina, Michigan, MSU, etc etc etc.

EVERY team deals with bad luck. It's not just you.
