[QUOTE="Deleted member 747802, post: 1572605"] Really happy with another big ten win. And, I admit, I am very hard on this team. But it is because I believe we have yet to see what this team is truly capable of. We've seen flashes, but I have been disappointed with the overall play given the talent we have. Another game where we come out flat to start both halves. Ayo with 1 shot in the second half? Hawkins gives some great energy in the first half, gets pulled and doesn't play another minute in the half? He hits a 3 early in the 2nd half, immediately gets yanked and doesn't play another minute (I don't believe anyway)? What is going on? Our mental approach, preparedness and in game decisions have been less than satisfying to put it mildly. And the free throws and frustrating turnovers are completely mental lapses that great teams do not consistently make like we have all year. Anyway, it's better than a loss and Curbelo is a lock for Freshman of the year if he continues his playmaking. Kofi shows flashes and I am definitely glad he is on our side. Trent is a great defender and probably saved the game for us late with a couple steals, but man I'm just waiting for us to start firing on all cylinders. Hopefully that happens against NW. [/QUOTE]
