Illini players finally suck it up today and start playing like they have been coached.

Illini 73
Brasky Pants 59

I hope you are right because this is the season right here. Either that presser on Weds motivates them or it drives them farther down the abyss. If we cannot beat the worst team in the conference on their home floor then we have a bigger mess than I ever thought. we have been plastered all over the national media in a negative fashion. I hope that would motivate them to play the rest of the season with guts, determination and heart.

Tate and Asmussen say the team is very upbeat, had a good energetic practice. They were focused but lighthearted when appropriate. Hester says we need to get out in transition to scramble the D and not allow them to get the double team on Leonard.
