[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1530187, member: 4716"] As I saw it, IU seemed to get a ton of good breaks and shot the ball well while the Illini just kept chopping wood. In the end, one good break proved the difference for our guys. After heartbreaking one point losses to Maryland and MSU, it was nice to get one on the plus side. IU is a good team in a league of good teams with little difference from top to bottom. That the Illini have won 12 of 18 is a tribute to having raised their level of effort and hard work over the course of forty minutes...and Kofi's contribution at both ends as a solid player for a frosh. I sure hope he comes back and improves his handle and shooting as if he becomes automatic from 10-15 ft. with a jumper, he can have a long NBA career. If not, he would be well served with eventually a meaningful degree after a short NBA career. As hard as he works and with his seemingly good mechanics, he can likely become that player and have a solid career as a professional in the NBA, but most anyone knows he needs more.work at the college level first. Regardless, the Illini keep pace with an outside chance at a share of the conference title. Now we will see if OSU deserves a top 25 ranking over the ILLINI (which seems laughable and without any foundation). Got to go to Columbus with a chip on the shoulder and something to prove. Let there be no doubt the Illini can win this one but they have to be hungry. [/QUOTE]
