[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1677998, member: 4716"] We did not see a cohesive effort until Hutch, BVV, and RJM were in together. All bring pluses to the floor. BBV can board with anyone but has no finish. Just needed those guys earlier to provide a spark, but not sure they meld well with starters. Really lack an alpha dog. Wondered who that would be for months. Still am. Kofi is the star, but he is neutered by a triple team when he will not pass out. If we don't see that soon, this season is doomed to be one of the most disappointing in Illini history. Hutch showed signs of being that kind of guy, but two seasons of watching have not helped him. BU has a tough task ahead. Gotta change the mindset, infuse confidence, and fuse this team together. I have no idea if he knows how to do that without Ayo, but we will find out. Losses to two unranked teams, of which the Illini will soon be a part, have grossly deflated interest in Illini basketball after two great seasons. This should have been a third, but playing the games have a way of exposing weaknesses. The balloon has burst... it was filled with hot air. [/QUOTE]
