[QUOTE="IlliniFoLife, post: 1240837, member: 583651"] I don't put too much stock in the very first exhibition game. Everyone will be sloppy, not play tight defense, miss shots, and turn the ball over. It will take a while to work out the kinks. But I wasn't too happy with the play of the team in the first 10 mins. of the game and the last 10 mins. of the game. I thought they got things together between the under 8 timeout in the 1st half and maybe the under 12 timeout in the 2nd half. But, that's only roughly half the game. I think Morgan looks like he'll be getting the starter's minutes but Thorne will get his fair share once he gets up to speed. I think this is the most big man depth that I remember us having had in a while. Even when we had Tisdale/Davis/Leonard back in 2010. That is also debatable considering Meyers was a freshman. We'll have Morgan/Thorne/Finke/Black and then Hill can play the 1-4 and has a lot of size. Abrams looked pretty rusty but did make that one three that I saw so that's a good sign for someone who was never much of a 3 pt. shooter. It was a rough sloppy game to watch but let's understand that this is the end of October and not the end of February. [/QUOTE]
