[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1977010, member: 748116"] Yes, this group has the capacity for great things. But the concern is that... this game was just like a tournament game. That kind of talent and intensity. And there are at least 20 teams in America at the level of where the Illini are right now or a bit better. None of us want to see another early washout come Springtime. The Illini have to win these kind of tournament-style games and not just feel good that they were close. As good as the Illini have played at times so far... these players are still capable of doing better. Both individually and as a group. Domask and Goode can still get more consistent from game to game... as can Shannon. And certainly Hawkins has to play at a higher level especially with what he hopes for in his future. And these guys are the core and heart of the team. In other words, feel OK about where you are right now but know you need to get better. There's just too many out there just like you are. [/QUOTE]
