[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1833864, member: 748116"] The seasons may change... The names on the backs of the Illini jerseys may change... but The Orange still suffer from These-Five-Minute-Stretches-With-No-Points periods during too many games. This represents many offensive possessions in a row coming away with nothing... not even a free throw. Shooters going cold... intense defense against them... starting to play tensed up... losing focus. Too many quick Threes... reasons. The answer? Get some one-on-one clearouts going and get some defensive fouls at least. And get the ball inside. Create some contact. Quick passes around the perimeter to facilitate the open man for better spot-ups. And then... HIT THE SHOTS. Against a quality opponent, those dead stretches are game fatal. Can’t have that. And a side note... give thanks this Holiday Season to the University of Texas at Austin. Because of them – and once he saw that Burnt Orange plumage... the Illini now have the gift of the Matthew Mayer we were hoping to get. [/QUOTE]
