[QUOTE="RockfordIllini, post: 1837697, member: 8716"] Agree. The NW game is what JW and LaTulip have been calling a “toughness” game. On the road. Probably a lackluster home crowd. A team that is inferior on paper but is playing well and, in particular, mucking it up and making teams play half court offense. I too unfortunately have that one marked down as a L unless I see some real progress in our last buy game. We’ve failed both toughness games spectacularly this year. And it doesn’t get any easier with Wisky after that. They will run ball screens to get the matchup they want, then back us down and dice us up with cuts and open 3’s. If we don’t figure things out fast we are looking at 0-4 to start league play. [/QUOTE]
