[QUOTE="joed, post: 1455232, member: 746154"] Thinking of next year, Samba will have all summer to improve his game. He should be playing more for sure. The rest of the guys will also have a summer to practice shooting, over and over and over. Try 15,000 like Groce ordered. Practice screens, even double screens. Play two bigs at once, rotate Giorgi, Kofi, Samba. They will get plenty of rest. Offense wastes so much energy, tired, short 3s off the front of the rim in 2nd half. Can't get open because it is so predictible, sorry but it is. Haarms didn't even have to leave the bucket, and still stopped/altered mid range shots. Need to draw him away, also cause him to foul to sit him. Our defense sucked big time. Purdue had open layups all night long. No body within 10 feet of Haarms, so Harms dunk city. What was having kipper, 6' 7" guarding Haarms, 7' 3" ??? Keep one of our big guys by the bucket at all times on defense. Let the other guys guard outside tight. No need to go 30 feet from bucket, just opens middle for bunnies. Notice how Purdue defended and it worked, few Illini bunnies, few layups etc. Hopefully, next year will be better. [/QUOTE]
