[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1857061, member: 747104"] Nebraska was doubling in the post and forcing catches 15 feet away from the basket. There just weren't paint opportunities yesterday, by design. Illinois' most effective offense, particularly in the second half, was to keep shooting 3's and get layups via offensive rebounds (thanks, Ty!) ... and transition buckets via turnovers. With Goode coming back, Melendez a better shooter than he's been, and Epps and Mayer better shooters than they got yesterday, the shooting strategy itself wasn't the problem, it was just that shots weren't falling, and the rebounding needed to step up late to make the offense function at an average level.
