Let the game get loose and have Zion catching lobs on you and you'll get killed. Keep a controlled tempo with few mistakes and hit your shots and they're not unbeatable.

I'm clearly flat out frightened by this Duke team, but I agree with your follow-up on why they're not so scary (in theory). My biggest concern is that their strengths in their size, toughness, and rebounding are our weaknesses.

You have zero idea what is going on with Schlabach

I only know what his favorite topic has been in 2018.

He isn't sitting on stories waiting for UA to do something. He has to report what he has asap and now it is all dumb shit like ABOR that is misleading

What was a great learning experience.

First real test and they gutted it through and we all learned something!

It seems like this team has more spirit and character than last year. No folding up the tents.

Midway though the second, we were down ten, shooting poorly from 3 and getting killed on the glass. We just kept fighting.

They are bigger, more talented, and work well together

We are still finding our roles.

But damn I loved watching the Illini take them to the wire.

I’m expecting to lose tonight but would not be surprised if we can channel whatever D we had In The second half and pull the upset.

No matter what happens the next two games, I really feel good about Miller having us ready by March.

ChooChooCat wrote:Honestly there may have not been a more important game for us to win all season than that game last night. We get what will amount to a very good win at the end of the season and it insures no bad losses or empty wins in Maui. Play with our asses on fire against either Zaga or Auburn and we get a huge win on our resume as well.

ChooChooCat wrote:So to sum up this team currently the 5 starters are all capable of contributing positively, Ira Lee always does something positive off the bench although he does make a dumb foul or two per game, Dylan Smith can defend on the wing and if the moon is full then his jumper falls, Akot well....I don't think he even knows what he does well on the court, and Barcello is merely present. In a game like this where Williams and Randolph just couldn't get it going consistently a scoring option off the bench would just make more sense. Hoping Doutrive can find the court soon, I think he's literally the main missing piece to the rotation.
