[QUOTE="Tevo, post: 1445461, member: 185365"] When all of our wings do the same thing — drift into the lane and help even before the ball is passed to the post — then it's clearly a system issue, not just a player issue. Garza and Cook clearly took spots 1 and 2 on the scouting report. The combination of the Illini not having the post players to guard Iowa straight up, and Iowa making every open three (and several contested ones) is the reason for this result. It would have been closer if we had made our open shots, or had an offensive play or two that would generate open shots, or had players who could draw fouls on their posts and thus get them out of the game, or were simply playing at home (which is usually good for about seven points in the Big Ten), but none of those things happened last night. Some will get better next season, probably. [/QUOTE]
