[QUOTE="Vinegarben, post: 1976657, member: 748339"] Bright Spots-Hawkins and Guerrier played their best game to date. Free throw shooting was great for 2nd game in row. Turnovers were down -8. Took a punch got back up. Never gave up, fought to the end. Even though TJS never had his usual great game he still scored 22[he got to the basket especially late and got fouled. Downside-After shooting 63% against FAU, which I didn't think they would repeat, they went back to tossing up 3's again. They need to be more disciplined and patient working the ball. Seemed like we got tired at the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half, we were outrebounding them at that point but eventually lost that by 9. Marcus had an off day buy 2 guys [Hawkins/ Guerrier]stepped up, just wasn't enough. It seems funny how a game and emotion can turn on one play. I thought the big turning point was early in the 2nd half with Illini up by 5 when Rogers got called for a hook and hold. Tennessee got a technical foul shot and the ball, scored 3 points with clock off and it just seemed right there the momentum completely turned in favor of the Vols and the Illini never recovered. Great game anyway, showed they can play with top team on road. Learn from mistakes and grow. [/QUOTE]
