Not a ton of them, but I always choose to look on the bright side (life is much more enjoyable that way!)
Got down big early (20-4) on the road, but the team DID NOT QUIT.
Cut it to 5 several times.
That is a huge positive.
The return of Mike and Eugene ahead of schedule.
Regardless of how either played tonight (would expect some rust and tentativeness), that is a HUGE positive.
1) for their sake
2) preventing us from having to go deep into the bench
Eugene drew ANOTHER charge. The guy is tremendous at that.
I could not believe the announcer when he said Eugene has 24 on the year, and no one else has more than 1.
“I got a fever. And the only prescription is more EUGENE!!!”
Eugene gave great effort and energy all game. Even though he didn’t convert a lot, he did make an effort to show some inside game, something our team is sorely lacking. I hope he continues to develop that part of his game. Without an inside threat, teams will continue to smother our shooters out deep.
Mike playing hard and playing some smart basketball. Need his IQ out there.
Sa making some effort plays and even a throw down. Any time he does that after not doing so for so long is GREAT!
Corey playing hard on the defensive end. Always great to see this improvement in his game.
I’m sure others can add to my list.
The team needs to keep working hard, stay focused on improving and never quitting, and eventually it will turn. We are limited, but we have to stick with our guys (coaches and players).
I have tix for Illinois game.
First game since 199x (?).
Can’t wait.
“Don’t give up.
Don’t ever give up.”
