Well, the second part is true. We didn't take it to the rim Archived Message Posted by Blazer on February 15, 2025, 22:03:43, in reply to "MOAR!" Of course, when there's no accountability for the failure to do so, this is what you get. Previous Message #illini Brad Underwood: Against UCLA, it was trying not to lose. Tonight, it was not being tough enough. We got to learn to head-ram better and get to the foul line more.
