Wow how can so many people on here be so negative and panicked about Thursday. I figured with a team like this and a coach like Underwood would actually bring more positivity at this point in the season, especially with us basically in the tourney at this point. I’d be interested in knowing what goes on in the minds people like
@ChiefIllini to cause them to be so negative. Some of you need to follow my favorite tip in life: if you’re more optimistic, good things tend to happen more often. Here is why I’m not worried
1: We’ve never shot well after long breaks and BU confirmed that in the post game. Our 3 game stretch this week might actually help us to stay in our competitive mindset and play aggressive
2: Trent is fine. He actually started looking for his shot last night and it worked out well. Previously he looked hesitant and passed it around too much because he was looking for a “smart shot” which his smart shot is different from others as we actually does better when he created his shot by shaking off the defender for a step back or in transition. Him shooting that tough shot in the face of his defender is actually a good thing. Attempting that shot is called confidence.
3: Giorgi will get it going. He’s been good in practice and game day he gets rushed. Happens in every sport day to day.
Stop worrying. These guys are hungry and want to win too. They were here last year too and know what it was like to lose these games. We’ll be just fine and looking forward to rejoicing on selection Sunday
