[QUOTE="Steelyunk, post: 1509252, member: 746199"] I thought the very same thing. the team started with some energy but miznoz defense wore on them. Illini got timid instead of attacking. Trent Meachem said if miznoz forced Il into half court game we’d struggle. Seems coach should know that and extend pressure to match theirs and get us more transition action. Someone asked great question in post game: you talk about nameless/faceless opponents but said you wish your team matched mu intensity - they took it personal - how can you reconcile that? BU was struck momentarily dumb before returning to his talking points. His act is wearing thin on me. so many of our issues are not new: playing down to less talented teams, missed bunnies, turnovers, close game losses, timidity - these seem to be features, not bugs in BU‘s system and have been consistent throughout his tenure. It’s clear to me that he’s not maximizing the talent on this team - which is not exceptional - but average B1G talent buries Miami, Nichols State and Miznoz. [/QUOTE]
