[QUOTE="Illini John, post: 1678069, member: 748489"] As bad as this game was (and yes, it REALLY was bad!), I am shocked by how close all of the numbers were. Cincinnati shot 1 more field goal than we did (58-57) and we shot 1 more free throw than they did (21-20). They out rebounded us (40-36) but we got more assists (10-6). We had more turnovers, but not as big a gap as I would have thought (14-11). We both had 8 steals and they were called for more fouls (19-16). So what led to an embarassing 20-point loss? They shot 41.4% from the field and 28.6% from three. We shot 28.1% from the field and 13.6% from three. Our horrible shooting absolutely buried us. We have got to get smarter about our shots and find an offensive rythm that flows more naturally. And if it's not working for someone on the floor, find someone on your supposedly deep bench who can make it work. And sooner rather than later when the game has become a blowout. Players and Coach Underwood: There's your assignment for tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
