[QUOTE="NASchamp, post: 1818207, member: 748308"] It was all there last night. You saw everything we hoped for at the beginning of the season and against elite competition. The defense was tough, with nonstop switching. Press disrupted the flow. We went deep like we all hoped we could against good competition and wore down a team that went to the Final Four. Any Illini on the floor could score at any time, which will make game planning really tough against this group. The 3s were dropping and Dain looked great inside. Sure, we have things to improve on. Free throws and lessening TOs will be key before the B1G season begins. I’m confident RJ and CH will find their form. There’s just so many people than can contribute in any game, they will each have their own huge games down the road. Impressed with the leadership and skills of TSJ. He was lights out. And I also loved seeing aggressive driving and cutting to get to the line. We’ve really missed that in past years. The freshman looked like they belonged in a big game - which is incredible at this point in the season. We’re a really fun team to watch too! Tons of energy. We need to just keep meshing and stay injury free. The ceiling is high my friends. Very, very high. [/QUOTE]
