[QUOTE="Gunner23, post: 1350633, member: 6041"] The way that this team plays does not remind me of the Weber/Groce eras at all. It seems to me that we have many more finishes at the rim than previous seasons under Weber/Groce. The aforementioned coaches were fine with chucking up a bunch of 3 point shots and a lot of long 2 point shots. We don't have the athletes to go in and hammer everything close right now. That is part of the rebuilding process. At this point in time, I will take some "soft finishes" that result in 2 pts or a trip to the line over chucking shots up because we have no other option at the end of the shot clock. This staff will recruit the players needed to provide you the hard finishes that you desire. In the future, this team will be able to do it all (finish soft, finish hard, hit threes, rebound, and play hard nosed/intense defense, etc.). This is a process and we all just need to sit back, enjoy, and watch it play out. Illini basketball is going to be in a great place...soon. :chief: [/QUOTE]
