Got home at 945 last night so not much point recapping well traveled territory.
We didn't defend the 3 well, and didn't shoot it well enough either to make up the difference.
Defensive energy was horrible. That being said, our fans clearly love and feed off Harris' effort. When the rest of this team plays to his level on defense, we're unbeatable. I truly believe that.
When we don't, and we happen to have a crappy lackadaisical night on offense, it's trouble. No surprise.
However, that being said, my stepson had an amazing experience for his birthday and fell asleep in his Illini hat, thanks to the guys on the team who took the time to say hi and give out high fives (thank you, Luke, Brandon, Sencire!!!).
These kids had an off night. But it's December, we're young AF, and if someone said, you can either beat #2 TEXAS at MSG in a national event, or beat PSU yesterday, I would take the Texas win every day of the year.
I believe.
