I agree the illlini were not 22pts better.

We hit our average in FT's and it's a 10 pt game.  We hit under our
average but just a little higher on our shooting and it's within 5

"Illinois talent wise is not 22 points better than UC"

I will humbly disagree with this statement. This is exactly the problem
with the Cats IMO. They simply do not have the depth of talent that
Illinois (or any other top-10) team has. I've been saying to everyone
around me this year. We're not a bad team. We'll contend for a
conference title, but we probably will not it take it that far, because
we lack a depth of talent.

I saw an  article that said Huggins had a closed door meeting with the
team for an  hour after the game. That is why he missed the show. They
talked about life  in general, he said, but wouldn't go into details
because it was something  that needed to stay in house. Personally, I
think he did the right thing  with sitting them down and talking it all
out last  night.



The only thing I can say to that is maybe he should have had that talk  
before the game! Illinois talent wise is not 22 points better than UC.
Huggins has 
got to make these guys realize that against good teams they aren't
going to 
score many points in the paint. They have to become a better passing
team to 
get some good looks from outside. Something like Illinois did last
night. Don
