[QUOTE="Punesguy, post: 1493377, member: 586472"] Wow, after several deep breaths and a walk around the block, I think I'm better! Thank goodness we won but what an embarrassing effort! That goes for the coaches and players. To allow a team the level of Nichols St. to go on a 16-0 run in the last 6 minutes at home is unacceptable. Here are my Top 10 takeaways from the game: 1. Everyone in the entire program needs to stop reading the press ... we haven't proven anything yet! 2. Giorgi, what has happened to your touch inside of 10 feet? 3. Ayo is really not helping his draft stock on the offensive or defensive end. 4. BU needs to stop playing favorites (Kipper & DW) and play more talented options (AG)! 5. Kipper lovers need to recognize that the games he plays well in come as frequently as full moons and leap years. 6. Kofi is going to be really good and he already changes games! 7. Our turnovers are shocking given the experience on this team. 8. Dre is our best or at least most consistent player! 9. I would spend at least an hour each day of Wed and Thurs practices on free throws ... wow, we are awful! 10. While it was disappointing and tough to watch, we won a game that in the past few years we could have easily lost. Now we go to a team in GCU that literally just lost to a D2 school by the name of Davenport 82-73. They were losing the entire game and to be honest, I watched the last 4 minutes and Davenport fell apart so it really wasn't that close. We need to refocus and step on GCU's throat from the tip ... and then not let up! I am still extremely optimistic about the talent and where the program is heading. Let's put together 2 strong games this weekend and it will be like this game never happened. Go Illini![ATTACH type="full"]5055[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
