Re: Will we score 50 points?

I also thought the Bearcats played scared. Missed free throws and
airballs (four, I think) prove that.  Huggins during the game often
told the guys to slow down because he cold see it too.

Another problem was the large deficit that happened so early. The guys
may have been trying to catch up too quickly when all that is needed
is one basket at a time.

Also there were fouls on their big men starters relatively early and
but the subs were good.

This was a cant lose game in that if we win, we achieve our goal and
if we lose - we were supposed to lose since they are #1.   I'm
surprised we came out nervous.

Big respect to Illinois tho. Good bench and very good passing team.
