[Oskee] Illini win

[Greg Adams]

I'd second that on Griffey. One of those "always around the ball" type of players. Can't say i'm impressed with Tisdale. Should be shoving people out of the way in the paint. Can't recall Legion playing but Richardson and Paul impressed with their hustle and guile. Davis' had the quietest 17 rebound game I can recall. I'd like to see him at the '4' and try Griffey at the '5'. I thought those two with McCamey, Paul and Richardson was most effective last night. To quote that sage of sages Todd Sweet, "thank goodness for hoops season". :-)

I watched a bit of the game on espn360 last night, I also like what I saw of Tyler Griffey, seems like he might take Semrau's minutes from my brief view of him last night.

Well, thank goodness for hoops season.  The Illini get win #2 tonight against a pesky NIU team.  The game was close and we didn’t put them away when we had the chance.  Very sloppy play at the end of the first half.  Instead of closing out with a flurry we gave up 3 turnovers and a half court miracle at the buzzer and let them get back in the game.
 
Still, a lot to be excited about.  Brandon Paul is the real deal.  20 points at half, then a goose egg for the second half, but I’m sure the guys were tired as this was a track meet.
 
We need to stop the dribble drive better, and we have some real rebounding issues when Davis is off the floor, but I think this team will definitely be the type that gets better as the season goes along and hopefully we hit our stride in March.
