[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1820760, member: 3916"] I still wonder why .......... We didn't press them the whole game.........Thought I read or heard that baylor put the press on the cavs after they fell behind so much and it allowed them to close the gap...................... Why no Sincere in the second half...................He really altered the pace of the ucla game for the Illini's benefit and he had a good first half against the cavs... Not a lot of passes down low to Dain for him to get some buckets or rebs.................... I guess it is my mind pondering different strategy's that could be used for a different result......... BU said we played a great first 36 minutes of the game , but stopped executing when we were up 2 points with 3:20 to go............Maybe then put on the press to confuse the cavs and unleash the Tazmanian devil Sincere Harris to keep our pace at a high level......... I felt before the event started that we could win both games , or split the games , or lose both games as i had little info myself on the other 3 teams except that all three other teams were ranked and ranked ahead of us............ Am I happy going 1-1 ?...................nope.............But I witnessed enough to not be upset as I have been many times before as many of my questions regarding this year's Illini has been answered ........The biggest answer I have understood is this year's Illini will not play in fear or give up when faced with adversity... Epps , Skyy and Sincere have exceeded my expectations and Ty will improve as the season goes on as he has a high motor and the will to improve..... it's gonna be a long season of up's and down's and if the Illini just play their best and never give up , then I will be happy and excited to see where we end the season at............JMHO [/QUOTE]
