[Oskee] Still feels nice to beat the Loosiers

[Robert Mingee]

Yeah, this soft early schedule is probably our only hope for postseason play -- if we can build confidence early beating up on the weak teams in the conference, perhaps that will allow us to compete against some of the better teams.  Confidence can be a powerful thing, but it has to be paired with desire, something this team still hasn't consistently demonstrated at any point this season (and by that I mean as a team, not isolated individual performances).  But still, had we had a tough early schedule this could have been a truly ugly season.  It still may be in the end, but I'm going to hold on to that slim thread of hope until it snaps :-).

I’m beginning to think we’d be
better off just spotting the opposing team 15 points at tip off.  At least that
would give us more time to catch up! :-P
 
Oh well, a road win in the big ten is like
gold so I’ll take it.  But our margin for error is pretty much nil at
this point.  We cannont afford to lose any of our games to Indiana , Penn St., Iowa ,
or Northwestern.  And the way Michigan 
is looking now, we better not lose that one either. 
 
By the way, somebody page Mike Davis and
have him return to planet earth.

Yup, Kevin, good week for those of us living in enemy
territory.  Had me a little worried for a while tonight, though.

Well I've been rather quiet this season but I can still get the blood pressure going in beating Indiana !  Why do we have to suck every first half.
McCamey took over the game in the second half and Tisdale was a stud
Tonight.  Larry R. And I should be happy in beating pur nemsis this week.
 
 
GO ILLINi
