[QUOTE="618 Illini, post: 1261845, member: 597866"] Gave myself a day before commenting on the game. Couple thoughts: -Started off slow...again. Won't have much success in the Big10, on the road, when you dig yourself a hole to start the game -I really like TJL and Kippers energy off the bench. Offense moves better with TJL than Tate and the hustle plays increase when you have Kipper and Black out there -Kipper had a nice steal and solid overall defense during our second half run -Speaking of the run... I have never seen a coaching staff kill his own team's momentum more than Groce and Co. Crean was probably smiling and jumping for joy after Groce called his timeout for him. Additionally, this team regularly subs out players that are gelling to "keep our guys fresh" or "use our depth as a strength". The majority of successful teams have their key 6 or 7 guys and the starting 5 play major minutes. Except for injuries/foul trouble the best 5 players should play all the game. Overall Groce's coaching strategy irks me primarily because he doesn't seem to have one. [/QUOTE]
