Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This game was so close to being busted... so close to a 1 poss game... one interference, free throws... and instead it's 14.

Still gave ourselves a chance though...

After trying to make it look respectable, we turn it back into what it really was. Not a good finish

Game. Defense a huge issue. But a lot of positive on the other end of the floor.

I think we’ve got a couple guys who are massive issues. Other than that im ok with what we’ve got out their considering the threats offensively

All in all, game 4 against a final 4 caliber team, not bad. Give it time I think the pieces will sort it out. Riley plays hard on both ends.

Brad was honest with his criticism of the D early on. The players have to buy in now. It's on tape, which is the beauty of playing these types of games early.

Gotta gain a couple pounds before that happens.

See you all Saturday.. I am pretty sure this Alabama team is what Brad wanted to look like...

Interesting to see the plus/minus tonight.

On the one hand, Alabama may be the best offensive team we face all year.

On the other hand, our defense could be a LOT better.

Ben is becoming the poster boy of being posterized.
