[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 2000164, member: 4716"] In 66 years of watching Illini basketball, I have never seen such an offensively diverse, capable, balanced, and talented offensive mix of skills. Planning to stop two players from going for 20+ is a total waste of time...and that is the typical plan of most coaches. Doesn't work against Illini. Rutgers did play some smart, tough defense at times, but to focus on stopping one player gives another the opportunity to shine...and they did. What does that mean. Simple. When this experienced, long, smart, and talented defensive team is focused and energized, it will be tough for any team to beat them. [/QUOTE]
