[QUOTE="illinibballfan, post: 1561701, member: 27250"] Great game. I think Duke was a little overrated, but with their youth could lose a couple more early, but could be a tough out come tourney time. Illinois showed just how good they could be though. Things that I think will make the difference between elite 8 and National championship type seasons: Rebounding-we’ve given up a ton of offensive rebounds in the last two games. Curbelo, Trent, Miller and Damonte - play smart and take what’s given to you (which means Trent probably needs to shoot more when he’s open, and Curbelo needs to not try to force it as much). Trent needs to realize he's still capable of putting up 30. Kofi-When you get the ball ask yourself WWSD (What would Shaq Do?) Finish stronger and hold onto the ball Ayo-Be the best player on the floor. Didn’t feel like he started that way tonight, but definitely ended up being it after looking at the boards in the box score. That's my view on the keys to success. Let's beat Mizzou and have a fun Big Ten season! [/QUOTE]
