That is also where spacing comes in. A lot of times when he drove Meyers was too close to him and the guy guarding him was the one the got the strip.

That is BS. The only reason anyone was clamoring for Goode, Melendez and Podz to get minutes is because our offense had become stagnant and we needed a shot in the arm. You can't keep playing good teams 4 on 5 or at some times 3 on 5 and expect to win.

Henry did play pretty well for Depaul and spent some time in the NBA.

or you don't read enough into it. Especially after your remarks about Goode and Melendez not being ready for tournament play. I guess we will see. If you're right and Podz stays I will admit you were right . Will you do the same if he leaves?

Boy I can't believe you thought Williams should sit and trust a freshman?

Like you think you know better than everyone else? It is an opinion board.

So I guess you never second guess any of the staff's decisions? My point is still the same, why would you come to play at Illinois if you don't even get a chance to see the floor in important games. I suppose you are going to tell me that every player on the opposing team tonight is better...

Evidently many on here have decided he isn't good enough, just like they decided at midseason that Hawkins wasn't good enough.

It doesn't show but I hit the like button 5 times on this post. Might have broken my mouse.

So, if that was the case a fifth year senior might pick up his dribble, look for someone to pass to instead of making a blind pass. Kind of like the end of the Ohio State game. It seems like he also got picked at the end of the Marquette game. I am not knocking Frazier as I am a big fan. However...

I would remind you they beat Purdue at home and lost to them by 2 points in the last Big Ten game for them. They're not that bad.

Obviously you want to assume that, but in his interview Trent said he wanted to go to his left but TJD cut him off and wouldn't let him, thus changing the play. When Trent drove right they had 3 guys there to our 2 and we would have had to fire up a contested three or reverse the ball which it...

Actually, he got down court so fast no one could get in position.

I suppose you could say that part of that was because Hawkins (who usually comes off the bench) played as a starter due to injury. Nobody likes it whenever I say this, but Melendez or Goode would give us more of a spark offensively if they had DMW's minutes. You can't score if you won't shoot.

my worst memory of that year is how little we used Henry. He could have really helped us if he hadn't transferred to Depaul.
