Time for  another perpective check.  Illinois really is that good and
their  blowout of UC on New Year's Eve really did not surprise me  that
much


I knew UC was subject to a blowout but not the way it happened. I thought  if 
Illinois shot the ball really well it could happen but they didn't and still  
blew them out. UC made tons of mental mistakes. Chad double dribbles, Jihad  
passes to Kirkland who isn't looking, and Hicks lets Brown score on an 
inbounds  pass to name a few. The Hicks deal was really bad because it got UC down 
early  and set the tone for the game. There is a lot of good teams out there 
besides  Illinois. Can they all beat UC by 20? I hope not. Don
