i don't think "they" look gassed. i think sully looks gassed.

Could be given the pace of the game.

But that's a different issue than people going on a "Thad doesn't play enough guys" rant every time we lose a game.

No the team looks gassed when Illinois runs it back and Sully is trotting to the basket still and the perimeter is wide open for Illinois to shoot it from. Its quite evident they are tired. Were getting out hustled to the rim man.


You are correct, we aren't gonna blow teams out but our last 6 games have been:

1 point win over NORTHWESTERN
9 point win over scUM
13 point win over Minny
10 point win over scUM State
2 Losses

Our win margin in all of Big Ten play has not been indicative of a "great" team.

We're 25-2, going on 26-2. Only San Diego State has a better record. Not Kansas. Not Duke.

Maybe there aren't any "great" teams in college basketball this year? But the list above us, if any, is pretty damn short.

BTW, we're up by 15 with 3 minutes left...

I loved that Lighty resisted the urge to fire up the three and instead work the clock. That shows me he's thinking out there. That kind of smart play comes in handy in March.
