[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1250665, member: 4069"] Nice post, thanks. If I have hope for this season, and I'm on record with a preseason 10-8 BIG and a tourney bid, it's that these two guys plus Tracy give the team enough heart to weather a crappy start. Right now, I'm not thinking it happens, but that's my ray of hope. If I try to take off my Illini googles and look at things as objectively as I can, I'd still say we have good upside: *JCL is in a soph slump, but the light could go on. *TJL makes freshman mistakes, but opens up the offense for the other guys, and manages acceptable defense in a trial by fire *With more weapons, Hill can play within himself and start looking more like the guy we saw in the cupcake games. Right now, he's good, but not able to carry us. *Thorne's sluggishness has a physical component that clears up, and he's able to defend at a significantly higher level. *The team develops better habits on defense as the season goes, and we actually start believing we can get stops [/QUOTE]
