[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1561848, member: 588522"] Correct he didnt play like a Wooden Award winner or perhaps a top draft pick, but I'll argue all day that the performance he gave last night is exactly what a national championship contending team needs. He didn't force shots because he wanted volume, hog the ball, he played his role. When he got the ball late in the clock he worked his magic because he had to, he played within the offense the rest of the time. Defensively he was solid, albeit on a lesser opponent most of the night. He was also defended by one of the best on ball guys in D1. He managed a double double with 18 pts. That doesn't win you POY's, but he elevated the team as much as he could today. It wont go down as his best game, but he played as well as could've been expected or wanted. [/QUOTE]
