Shitty overall game, ILLINI let one slip away, but it has been since 1956, so I guess they were due?

Hawkins-Strong Defense, Strong overall offense, Weak Mind once again, go back to not caring and quit the flailing of arms and utter disgust since you never commit a foul.
TSJ seemed to be pressing, back off the pedal and realize the team played very well overall without you. The All-American year may be over, fit in where you can get in.
Harmon, will play a HUGE role come March for us, I like the tenacity of the kid.
Guerrier, rebounded and went to the boards hard, came up empty handed a few times, offense wasn't quite there tonight.
Goode, defensive liability when not rebounding. Started strong jacked up that really bad shot, then things went south for him.
Domask, can take over at will most nights and will many more for us, last shot selection, he makes 9-10 times, but we shouldn't have been there with our rebounding domination.
I actually like the ILLINI and the missed layups in conference so far....think about it, every year the B1G teams beat the hell out of each other all year, very physical. Then the tournament starts, the play is called much closer, and most of the B1G gets knocked our early every year, mostly because they can't adapt to the difference in the way the game is called until it is too late.
This years team is hardnosed, goes hard to boards, and layups, they miss alot of those layups due to being hacked in process and no fouls called alot of the time. This changes come this years tourney and they will fare alot better...I hope.
