The lads came through with a spirited effort and such a fast paced attack it was.........If you blink you might miss a tomahawk slam by TSJ or a great bounce pass by Ty in the paint for a deuce...........I was suffering with a stomach virus but the play of the Illini was the best medicine , along with healthy doses of Pepto Bismol and 420...............................
What I witnessed was a squad of highly skilled players without defined roles yet , showing what a vast difference this years edition of the Illini will be from the last 3 years.........
The full court press or delayed zone press accomplished what it was designed for......To slow down the opponents possession and pick up some steals in the process............
Sincere Harris was a Tazmanian devil with his pressure D and showed advanced footwork for a true freshman.......He is already a fan favorite and deservedly so.........
Cohawk with an impressive shooting display and overall great floor game.......TSJ showed his game is a little bit of everything and his penetration into the paint was rarely stopped before he got to the rim for a bucket or a foul.........
The only anxious parts of the game for me was the abysmal FT shooting.............................I'm sure this will be a major part of practice this week and I hope nerves had more to do with it than poor form............
This is a great time for Illini nation..........great FB season and it looks like it's gonna be another great season for BB........It really really does........................
