[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1427695, member: 4716"] Have to admit, Georgetown was, or at least played like, a much better team than at least I was led to believe. I have been watching B1G hoops for over 60 years and have never seen a team take and make so many tear drop runners....and believe me, that is a more difficult shot to make than a 25 footer. They won on two stats, out shooting the Illini 56-46% and winning the rebounds 39-26. Interior defense is still a major problem but there is potential improvement. Jones and Nichols (who did not have a truly bad defensive game until the end) need to work harder and learn quickly. Duke, with the speed, strength, quickness and shot making ability of their front court would beat our guys by 50. But, the heck with them, I just want our guys to play as competently as possible, have fun, and get better....and tonight was a pretty good brick to lay in that foundation. This Illini team has talent and is fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
