Every time I get a little squeamish about the potential lack of a true PG, I remember that the last time we went that route it ended in an Elite Eight appearance.
They had so many good looks that didn’t fall. I felt like that was a fairly evenly played matchup and the bounces didn’t go our way.
Not to try and claim moral victory, but Illinois proved they belonged, unlike two years ago where UConn thoroughly outclassed them.
Not to look past the next three days but Illinois just landed a commitment from Quentin Coleman, who seems like an ideal Wagler replacement.
I want to run it back with as much of this year’s rotation as possible, but prioritize Stojakovich and Mirk and I’ll be feeling really really good regardless of what else happens.
