[QUOTE="blackdog, post: 1698775, member: 224455"] Sure it's not ideal but when your defense gives up under 40% shooting for the season you can get away with some bad stretches on offense. I think it's easy to forget sometimes just how good defensively this team is because they don't force a lot of turnovers or have big highlight plays. They play sound fundamental defense and force the other team to make difficulty contested shots. I know in the NBA there are stats that measure how wide open shots are and I wish we had that for the college game because I would bet good money Illinois would be up there with how close the defender was on a shot.
