[QUOTE="RockfordIllini, post: 1820469, member: 8716"] Really liked the effort today and terrific experience. VA limits possessions and so you have to value each one, which we didn’t do late. Not surprising, as I imagine most of our freshmen have never played in a game like that. Think our immaturity showed and I don’t mean that in a bad way. But the film should be solid gold. Our possessions from about 8 minutes to 4 minutes where we came back and took the lead. Working the ball in and out, hockey assists for open 3’s. The last 3 minutes, too much hero ball and low percentage shots. Never satisfied with a loss but this loss might actually not be the worst thing long term. Had we won today, probably get a top 10 ranking and not sure we are ready or mature of for that either. This loss should get everybody’s attention and let Brad really “grind” them, as Brad likes to say. Looking forward to watching this team grow. Go Illini! [/QUOTE]
