[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1976707, member: 748116"] One quarrel should be that the Illini allowed Tennessee 21 points in the first 7 minute of the game. 3 points a minute! With Illini possessions mixed in. The Illini were able to close the gap when Tennessee's shooting went dead for a while. But if the Illini allow that kind of thing at Dance Time things will end quickly. It was the combination of Tennessee starting off red-hot from the field and their ability to live in the Paint at the same time. Sometimes you can't do anything about the first thing... but you've gotta do something about the second. And how did Tennessee cool off after the first 7 minutes? D-A-I-N-J-A came in. Took away the middle and their outside shooting went cold. Illini held things level until Tennessee once again got off early in the second half with those same two things rolling. From which the Illini never recovered. But even with that... the Illini nearly had a miracle finish. Just dug too deep a hole. [/QUOTE]
