[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1972578, member: 3916"] BU looked very relieved in his presser regarding the win , but also he knows how much last weeks practices paid off for the team in getting the win........................I have watched many many years of B$G BB and a win , on the road , in a hostile environment should galvanize the team to maintain their confidence going forward...... I found what TSJ said in numerous interviews about this 3 game road trip to be telling.........he said " we are here to win games "..... He was asked about spending time in NYC and he said " that stuff doesn't matter to him "............TSJ is , without a doubt , more mature this year and is approaching the season like a man on a mission......It surely helped for him to go through the draft process and hear what he needs to do to improve his game and attract interest from NBA executives for the next draft......... I also think having certain players NOT on the team this year (MM) has allowed TSJ to assume the alpha male , leader of the pack mentality in what he does in practice and in the games.......Pikiell made it a point in his presser to single out TSJ's improved shooting ability this year .....It said it looks like TSJ spent a ton of time in the gym to prepare for this season........ BTW , my fever is now 100.3 *.....I think the Illini's blowout performance had something to do with it.........................JMHO [/QUOTE]
