[Oskee] A Boiler Beatdown

[Hooker, Anthony]

I think we're trying to nurse the lead by limiting the other team's
possessions...on coach's orders.  It drives me crazy sometimes....but he
did just win his 250th game yesterday so I guess he know what he's
doing.  J   In coming seasons, when we have 4-5 guys on the floor who
can create their own shot, I surmise that it won't be nearly as painful
to watch.  

OWW!

For all the talk about what has been wrong with our team over the past
few games, it seems pretty clear that Mike Davis' disappearance in that
stretch was the key.  It was great to see him hitting that short pull up
jumper again today, and crashing the boards big time.  Maybe it was a
lingering effect from his illness, or maybe he just hit a wall
physically.  But when Davis plays like this, he is a matchup nightmare.
His great mid range game really free up some open jumpers on the
perimeter too.

 

I am still concerned about the amount of time we waste during a
possession dribbling and going nowhere.  But overall we looked like,
well, a basketball team again today. :-)  We need to play 2 on the road
just like we did today, and we've all but locked up our tourney bid, and
still have an outside shot at a conference title.

ps - when are our players going to learn that we can't hold the ball for
the last shot and start our play under 10 seconds?  This absolutely
drives me crazy!  We hold the ball for 25 seconds then fail to get a
decent shot because we don't have time to work our passes.  It can't be
that much hard to start at 15 seconds can it?  Okay, that's my only
gripe of the day for this game. :-)

	Not as much fun as a win vs. the Hoosiers, but still gives you
some bragging rights there in Indiana, Kevin.  Enjoy.

Well Bruce needs to find a hypnotist and let him

Hypnotize the players into thinking we are always playing Purdue.

The Boilers had a  100 or so students up in C always wanting

To Boiler Up, but the Illini wouldn't let them stoke the coals

As the Boilermakers never got close than 4 points once the game started.
Let's take this effort on the road for 2 wins.

 

 

GO ILLINI
