[QUOTE="Punesguy, post: 1519093, member: 586472"] Time for a gut check! There should be little doubt even by the most "the sky is falling" folks on this forum that we have finally learned how to win! If you were to say that we had to play at U of M, with Livers coming back and that we would be out-rebounded (37 to 34), have more turnovers (8 to 2), DeMonte and Kipper would have to play 31 and 23 minutes respectively, AG would not be able to play and Kofi/Giorgi combine for 4 of 16 from the field, 8 rebounds and 8 fouls, would anyone in their right mind predict that we would've won that game??? It's been mentioned in previous posts how ridiculously strong Ayo has been, how aggressive our D is playing and the impact of Dre but I think the entire team has a completely different mindset that no one can beat them! And to make today even sweeter, I taped our game to watch West Virginia completely embarrass Mizz by 23 (74 - 51). Tilmon didn't play, M. Smith dominated with 1 of 6 from the field for 2 points and Pickett contributed with another 2 free throws after going 0 for 4 from the field. Mizz now sits at 9 & 10 for the year. While it makes me violently ill to think about that loss, I'm so glad things have worked out the way they have. Great time to be an Illini fan ... Cheers! :shield: [/QUOTE]
