[Oskee] Illini win

[gtillini95 at aol.com]

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.

Did anybody else have a Brian Cook flashback when Todd wrote this line? (ha,ha)  I too like what I'm seeing from the kids.  Brandon was a little gassed in the second half.  Nothing a good week of conditioning can't fix.  

OWW!

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.
