[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1446901, member: 2886"] My pleasure. Thanks for your kind words. So wonderful to see the Illini again after so many years, and to have had the ridiculous good fortune for this to be the game I attended. I had tickets to three different Illinois-Maryland games in College Park dating to 2010 and missed all three because of work. And couldn't get to the BTT in DC a couple years ago because of business travel (which was just as well, as they lost to Michigan's practice unis.) I'll emphasize again, our team is clearly a team. Even when they were sputtering early, they supported each other, on the floor and from the bench. BU actually has a lot to work with, and seems to be building a strong, positive culture. If they can limit their turnovers, hit the FTs, and shoot well, they'll break some hearts down the stretch in February. When MD was up 30-19 the scoreboard showed them shooting 54% and us at 35%. By halftime it was 34-30 and they were down to 46%. I think we both ended in the mid-40s. All we have to do is play D and get into transition more. That will make a huge difference. [/QUOTE]
