[QUOTE="BMoreIllini, post: 1577478, member: 631021"] Since many poster are going to be in full meltdown mode again, I'm going to say there were some things I liked: 1) Grandison gave some good minutes and hit some big shots. 2) Kofi made a few quick passes to open guys when the double team came. (Still wish he would stop putting the ball on the floor when he's under the basket.) 3) Giorgi contributed after being more frustrated in the UMD game than I had ever seen him. 4) Miller made some shots. There's a lot to like with our team. I still think I would take our roster over any in the B1G in the NCAA tournament, other than Michigan if I get them with how they're playing right now. If we don't win the B1G I honestly don't care if we finished second in the B1G or 6th, as long as we get a decent seed in the tourney. I see progress from our guys. Against UMD Kofi backed away from a few double teams and today he made quick passes out. He did neither of those things even earlier this year. Curbelo has like a 3:1 assist to TO ratio in B1G play after nearly a 1:1 ratio in non-con. Miller is hitting shots more after a slump to start B1G play. Sometimes the progress is hard to see, especially after losses, but I think it is there. If we could just hit free throws, we missed 2 front ends of one and ones in the first half, our record would look much better and we could keep momentum - Looking at Kofi after that fragrant.
