[QUOTE="swampyd, post: 1438479, member: 588219"] I waited to post anything until I got to watch the televised game, because watching it live, you miss out on some of the back stories. I don’t get the TU vs AG talk. This game was lost because your Junior KN and your Senior AJ didn’t rise to the occasion. You would hope they would lay it all out there. I’m ok with them both seeing their starter minutes being cut. AJ had Mark Smith guarding him he should have scored 25 points not 10. We know Mark is a bad defender and was put on AJ because Counzo knew he wouldn’t put pressure on Mark. I love AJ’s hustle plays, but he plays a lot of minuets for the little scoring and effect on the offense he does. Kipper is what he is, we all hoped he would be the player we saw in flashes of last year. Unfortunately he is the player that we saw last year. When he is hot ride him, when he’s not he should be sitting. Freshmen are going to have clunkers and Ayo made an early mistake that took him out of the game. It is tough to get in the flow of the game, if you miss a lot of time due to fouls. My guess is that BU thought maybe the moment was to big for AG and didn’t want to hurt his confidence. He is the coach and a good one at that so, why would I questions his thought process.(yes it’s a fan forum) To me the discussion is AG vs AJ not AG vs TU. AG has shown some great flashes but also has made terrible decisions with the ball. I’m assuming that’s why he didn’t see any minuets in this game. Trent needs help and I don’t care who steps up. Until someone else decides they are the guy, then regardless who coaches, the Illini will continue to lose games to quality opponents. [/QUOTE]
