[Oskee] Illini knock out another ranked opponent

[Greg Adams]

Except for Jenkins getting hot late it was a good defensive effort; that guy was unconscious in the second half and should have been identified after the first make but he kept getting loose. That's why you play these early non-conf. games-to help your team come together in time for the B10 season. By the way, did anybody else not know Vandy was ranked 24th in the country before last nights game? Although the game got close I never thought for a second it was in doubt because of the talent difference. We must be a top 15 team. ;-) Tisdale seems to be communicating more with the refs and Davis seems much more assertive on the glass.

Definitely a better defensive effort than we’ve seen.  Tonight was a step forward for the team.  They still need to work on crashing the boards better and we had a few really stupid turnovers when we should have pushed the lead out.  I’m going to assume tonight’s FT performance was an aberration.  Coach Weber seemed pleased with the effort in the post game comments.
I have to compliment Bill Cole yet again for how hard he is playing.  The best thing he can do is turn himself into this team’s Lucas Johnson.
One last thing…it sure is nice to have a basketball team with good shooters on it again.  I could watch Tisdale shoot that jumper all night.  DJ, Brandon, Demitri…everyone seems to have a really nice stroke.  What a relief from last years root canal games!!!

Demetri McCamey  made Ft's late and the Illini hold off the Vandy

 Commodores.  Vandy tried to get back in the game when they

Cut the lead to 7 but the Illini nailed 3 treys and wasn't

Threaten  again.   D. J. Richardson made some great shots in the second half.

 

 

GO ILLINI
