[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1820542, member: 748116"] This is why this was a great game. The young guys played in a big-time tournament-style atmosphere on the road and held their own. And the Illini are not a cohesive unit on the floor yet as they will be in March. Playing together... learning how best to fit together... learning to play well under pressure... knowing you belong on the floor with the best... all this sets up a great Madness Time. These holiday tournament games are great fun. And it's the right approach to seek out and play great teams in them. But this is all prep for when the warmer winds begin to blow and the green grass begins to peak out and chase away winter’s cold. And THAT will warm the hearts of Illini Nation most of all. Expect a HOT March this new year. [/QUOTE]
