[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1183098, member: 7292"] Two factors that really contributed to that: 1) Mav and Finke playing in the same lineup, and Mav actually probably having his best game as an Illini. Finke did get a lot of rebounds from the weak side. Good decision on Groce to play Mav and Finke together extensively versus other options (e.g., Hill or DJW at PF). Very effective. Give credit where credit is due. 2) Jordan Murphy picking 2 fouls early in the game was very critical IMO. He started very strong and after his dunk on Finke inside, I thought we were going to be in trouble. After his fouls, Minnesota had no real inside game. And how about a recruiting blast from the past? Konate, briefly competed for his services. Not impressed. [/QUOTE]
