Not exactly the way I envisioned us getting a bucket, but I'll take it! Thanks TA.

No black from the 18 minute mark, which is a huge loss, but we can't have him out and have Tate in there and we are essentially 4 vs 5 when we have options on the bench. This isn't last year. Tate brings a lot of good qualities, but I can't help but think that TJL brings more to the table. Number 30 and the dude with sleeves are decent, but I know TJL could hang in there with them, plus they would have to chase him.

It really is incredibly frustrating trying to figure out why Tate plays so much. It's not like he has done anything terrible, it's just that he doesn't do anything good. He isn't a threat to score and his defense is suspect. At least with Abrams and Lucas, you have scoring threats that keep the defense honest. That helps our offense flow so much better. Groce's insistence on playing Tate is killing Tejon's development.

I think that TJL will turn out just fine in his career with the Illini.

Our offense in the 2nd half has been a shame. Hill with his usual garbage 1 on 1 crap.

Its incredibly frustrating to see why any of them play so much when they are are all so inconsistent.

This is such an important game, I sure hope we can hold onto it. Please don't put Tate back in.

Man, Mika is really good. I don't see how anyone other than Gonzaga will be able to guard him in their conference.

Who would have thought we would have a lead with Black and HIll with a combined 12 points. Now finish it!!
