"We want to try to score 100," he said. "We want to run and get turned in the open court. ... We get easy baskets that way. We're not afraid to run with anybody."
As the kids say, weird flex. Yeah they held UConn in check by keeping the deficit under 20 when the clock hit 0.0.but Northwestern showed their flaws"
What flaws did NW expose? Our team can get a little complacent when we're up by 30?OK, this is just a fan, but... wha?
"Eric Fredericks: Iowa State was super impressive. Their defense is insanely good. That was an awesome win. GO ILLINI!! Take down UConn. People think they’re unbeatable, but Northwestern showed their flaws"
Overtime? Like how Illinois lost to Northwestern in overtime earlier this year?Showing their flaws is like losing in double overtime. They lost by almost 20
On a day when our jump shooting suckef played more like a 30+ plus MOV. .As the kids say, weird flex. Yeah they held UConn in check by keeping the deficit under 20 when the clock hit 0.0.
I hope Illinois works that into their game plan.What flaws did NW expose? Our team can get a little complacent when we're up by 30?
We have trouble scoring when Andrew Hurley is on the court. His dad keeps saying “no more shots.”Overtime? Like how Illinois lost to Northwestern in overtime earlier this year?
That's how you end up with Juwan Howard punching Greg Gard in the faceI wish Dan would just let those kids play. At that point you've got both teams with kids who never get real action just let 10 kids go at it. I understand if game clock is less than shot clock sure just dribble it out.
Small complaint.
Wait? The team we beat by nearly 20 showed our flaws? loooooooooooool "How to not lose to UConn by 30!"OK, this is just a fan, but... wha?

We shot like hot garbage from outside. But it had nothing to do with Northwestern.What flaws did NW expose? Our team can get a little complacent when we're up by 30?
Northwestern made UConn shoot 2 of 22 on open 3s ?OK, this is just a fan, but... wha?

You have to be fair about it and give them some credit. They overplayed the three point line to the point where they were giving up uncontested layups every third possession.Northwestern made UConn shoot 2 of 22 on open 3s ?
The coach says "we want to try to score 100" ? If they score 100, we'll score 125"We want to try to score 100," he said. "We want to run and get turned in the open court. ... We get easy baskets that way. We're not afraid to run with anybody."
Yeah, but we shot 2 of 22 on open threes (not including Andre Johnson's made 3 in garbage time). Not contested threes. Northwestern's defense had nothing to do with thatYou have to be fair about it and give them some credit. They overplayed the three point line to the point where they were giving up uncontested layups every third possession.
BTW, fixed the link in the quote above."We want to try to score 100," he said. "We want to run and get turned in the open court. ... We get easy baskets that way. We're not afraid to run with anybody."
The great Illinois offense could only put up 64 against Marquette and that was with Shannon scoring 21 and Domask 18. Marquette also shot 29% from 3 and beat'em by 7.Wait? The team we beat by nearly 20 showed our flaws? loooooooooooool "How to not lose to UConn by 30!"
