[QUOTE="Illinithad, post: 1190194, member: 18984"] I didn't think they played that bad overall. We out-rebounded them 40-31, played pretty good defense for most of the game, and worked the ball and got good shots the entire game. What beat us was we couldn't hit wide open shots in the first half and Trey Demps going off for 12 of their 37 second half points during that stretch. Again, like I say after every game, I think if we had our full team we obviously win this game. Just like Providence, Notre Dame, Ohio State both times, Wisconsin at home, Nebraska at home and Michigan at home. That's eight games I think would have been the other way around. That would have us 19-6 overall and 8-4 in the B10. Maybe we wouldn't have won all of them, but we'd have won most of them. Then all the sudden John Groce is a lot smarter. The kids haven't quit and I think they are getting better. Just need to play the year out and keep improving. Sorry for some of the positivity. [/QUOTE]
