The game changed when ZA got into foul trouble and we dropped into a zone.........this let them back into the game with a run and gave them confidence! This was our game to win and we let it get away with missed FT's and countless missed bunnies! :idea:Danny Ruffin gave CF fits and he could not handle the ball with DR on him!

It was a good game.

Period.

Yes, definately! As I said in the chat, if Bradley can win 11 or so conference games, and a game or two in the Valley tourney, they will be on the NCAA bubble again.

We missed to many open shots.And had no inside game at all.

No we don't. But we knew that going into this season. If our perimeter game can carry us, we can win a lot of games until inside help arrives next year. We'll win our fair share of games. No disrespect to the Valley, but there are not a lot of teams in the Valley with the size and muscle of Illinois.
 
Still do not feel BU was "exposed" as some like to say. Just think that in the 2nd half they were taken out of their offensive sync and there was a little bit of guys trying to take things on their shoulders. Not nearly as many crisp passes and cuts as we'd seen from them in the 1st 5 games. I don't believe in moral victories, but this wasn't a bad loss.

I also think the Illini have some work to do if they hope to be compete this year.
 
Now that I'm quitting the other board....you guys will just have to put up with my ranblings more here.

They have a thread from an Illini fan telling us "what you can kiss" :roll:

I told em if its allowed to stay...I'm out. Its still up...so...I'm out.


No inside game....NONE. ZA went back to his old ways. Forced way too much.

Danny looks rusty but still had a decent game.....

5-1. I'll take it but we have work to do.
 
We battled hard tonight. There is way more positive here than negative. We were seriously outmatched on the front-line and UIUC still had to fight back from double-digits.

My only criticism is Will, if you're going to make a great move to get to the basket...please finish!!


how huge were the 6 missed free throws?

I still can't believe that after all the Non-BCS wins in the NCAA Tournament last year, after the parity that has developed in the last four or five years, and after all of the BCS losses to the so-called "mid-majors" these past two weeks, that ANYONE still thinks that the Valley is overrated! Maybe it will take five more years of NCAA Tournament futility by the Big Ten and the ACC before the "little guys" finally get their respect.

It sounds like this nutty Illini fan has a serious case of Billy Packeritis! :roll:
 
Zach's missed dunk also stands out........JC missing the front end of a 1 & 1........AW missing the 1st two FT's out of the 3........countless missed bunnies by all the guards....not just will! We lost as a team tonight IMO! :wink:
