[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1696768, member: 748116"] And whichever way the game goes... the truly good (shall we say 'Elite'?) teams rise to the occasion when the game is tight and on the line. That's the best takeaway from what happened in Cornhusker land last night... that the Illini did just this. Good lesson for the season and Madness Time. Magic Johnson used to call this crunch "Winnin' Time". Good teams 'know' they are going to win when it is crunch time. Mediocre and poor teams don't believe in themselves and literally will themselves to lose. That's why so many 'good' teams win those one and two point games. They 'knew' they were going to win and did just enough to do it. As many years as hoops has been around, this never seems to change. [/QUOTE]
