Illini in the Pros (Basketball)
I hope they come out a bit more inspired in Game 3.
However, when you're the underdogs, getting 1 of 2 on the road is always the goal.
You'll 100/100 times prefer winning one and losing the other by 40 .... than losing both by 1.

I just don't think what happened in game 1 is going to happen again from a SAS perspective. Especially Fox and Wemby missing all those shots.
San Antonio's the better team. The advantage Minnesota had against Denver of athletic perimeter guards is not an advantage in this series. Those two teams aren't in the same universe in terms of athleticism (San Antonio and Denver).
I think Minnesota wins one more game, if they are lucky. The injury to Ayo doesn't help either.
