1. Illinois is a huge risk to lose their first tourney game because they can't shoot. Lots of scares at home this year to back that up. Circus shots fall sometimes, but that's why hitting open shots matters so damned much.
2. Extend Underwood if he finishes second in this league. Slam the Texas door shut. Period. This program is worth vastly more than these salaries when it's winning. Same for the assistants. Make an investment, reap rewards for ten years.
3. Trent should play less if he's not going to score ever again. Inconsistent defense is not worth putting another bagel factory on the floor.
4. Underwood has this program where we thought it would be in 2007. Clear Tourney material, big-time players coming out of the woodwork with interest, playing a brand of defense that wins games it probably shouldn't, and looking forward to see where our top guy is drafted. It's hard to get that full feeling given the last 12 years, but this... is exactly that.
