[Oskee] I guess the freaking pundits were right.

Too bad they didn't realize they needed to play hard until it was too late. I think maybe they were satisfied with just getting the bid to the tournament, which is a shame.

Yes, disappointing doesn't quite cover it. It really surprised me that we were that ineffective at defending against the open 3. That hadn't happened all year. And I agree with you Kevin that the sophomores were not ready for this game. Mostly I feel bad for Chester. Chester deserved better. Chester's team deserved better.
 
Things to look forward to:
 
Freshmen. Griffey, Richardson, Bertrand, and Paul. At least two of these guys are starters.
Calories. Another 1,386,000 for Mike T between now and November 2.
Improvement: Mike Davis having another off-season like the last one.

Well for 35 minutes the Illini defense sucked every which way.  We allowed way to many easy offensive rebounds and open court lay ups to the 
Hilltoppers.  We really missed Chester's defense and rebounds during the game.
 
The bright side after sucking and getting down by 17 we mounted a great comeback as the seniors Trent & Calvin played damn great but wasn't enough.
 
I think our sophomores showed they hadn't played in a NCAA tourney game
Until tonight.
 
Damn I hate losing a first round game we need to stop this trend but crap it'll
Be a year to avenge this.
 
GO ILLINI
