[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1493633, member: 4069"] I'm thinking mostly of the lack of effort from 6 minutes to go until they tied it. Kind of an amazing stretch. One of the things I said in the preseason thread that tempered my expectations is consistency and handling success. A team needs to understand how to put teams away, and the coach needs to know how to keep his guys hungry. Whatever the reason, it was disappointing to see them coast and try for the easiest possible win, rather than use the court time to play like it matters. Hopefully coach is able to get them psyched enough to play a full 40 minutes and not play down to the competition. It's a win, so I'll take it. Hopefully no one took the line with Illinois at -22 :p [/QUOTE]
