At this point, it's time to play the freshmen and get them ready for next season. Still a chance to make a run or win the BTT, but I think even our chance to do that is more likely playing the youngsters than those who aren't performing, i.e. Davis.<br></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Todd Sweet <trsweet@ilstu.edu><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Fighting Illini Sports Enthusiasts List <oskee@heins.net><br><b><span style="font-weight:

About the only thing that could get us in now would be to run (most of) the
table or win the Big Ten Tourney. Very disappointing. I certainly
didn’t expect us to win a title this year, but I never thought this team
would miss the tourney. I think what upsets me the most is that we got
beat last night by a team simply because they wanted it worse than we did.
Even after we lost the lead at the end (which should have never happened), we
played very casually and without a sense of urgency. </span></font></p>
