I do believe part of the problem was the team, coaching staff, and players were resting on their laurels. Thought they would automatically win. No Problem
We were somewhat lackadaisical throughout the game
We were seriously unobservant around the basket on Defense
Time and again there were hoosiers wide open for a pass under the basket
Or were allowed to drive uncontested to the basket
The substitution patterns were rather suspect this game as opposed to
almost every other game this season
Another aspect was the Pitiful Criminal officiating
Zebras let Garza get manhandled the entire game and called touch fouls against the Hawks
The foul called on Keegan under our basket was a prime example
They shot 35 free throws
We shot 21
They called for 20 personals
25 on the Hawks
Perhaps this game came at the right time
We Should be prepared for the Illini
