What a game ............What a win ....................Way to go Fighting Illini.......................
Once again , we came out and got the first 4 points then regressed as ru took over the game ....Eerily similar to the loosiers game , but we kept close and only trailed by 4 at the half...........
Then came the second half and the ELITE ILLINI DEFENSE took over............19-0 run and ru caved in big time ....what worked for them the first half was taken away in the second half and we never looked back.......
Cohawk with 18 & 8
Dain with 15 & 7
TSJ and MM came alive in the second half
Ty Rodgers has pogo stick type bounce in his rebounding efforts
Sincere had a much needed 3 to start the run and his D was smothering as usual
epps with a so-so game and got his pocket pickede by mcconnell on a bad look late, but he will bounce back.....
Seems like we float along and then , WHAMMY , and our D just demoralizes our opponents, as ru went over 10 minutes without scoring ,,,,,not 1 point at all .... nix ,nary , naught and we rush by on our way to another victory..................
Time for payback next Tuesday at Happy Valley.........
