[Oskee] Badgers by 10

[Hooker, Anthony L]

I agree on all points.  Had we exerted this much effort, we blow out Tn St and beat Ball St and probably PSU also.  Unfortunately, we will have to play this hard, plus make shots, plus get really lucky to stay in it against IU.  It's Krush, Robert, but the sentiment is right on the money.  The only time I would ever think about booing one of our players is if they're not giving maximum effort, and I don't think that can ever be said about Chet.  I do wish he would quit trying to shoot the ball at crunch time though.  Just stay within yourself, doing the things you do well, and not try to do everything.  There's no way Randle didn't get bumped on the slam that got wedged, IMHO, but that's sort of the poster for how this season has gone lately.

If we had played that way against Penn St, we would not have lost at home -- there was at least more effort and hustle last night.  And I gotta side with Erin about Chester -- give the guy a break.  He's hurt, and he still leaves it all on the floor.  He may not have top skills, but effort-wise he's got a lot of Matt Heldman in him.  I know the booing was mentioned in passing here earlier, but I didn't know until last night that it was Crush members doing it.  IMNSHO, any member of the Orange Crush that boos one of our own ought to get a one-way ticket out of the Crush section for a few games minimum -- there is absolutely no place for that there, and it should not be tolerated.

The Illini cut it 44- 41 then the Badgers drain back to back treys and
take control of the
game and hold the Illini at arms length the rest of the way.  We are looking
better in defeat for whatever that is worth...  Next up grudge time
