Over and Out
January 15, 2007 10:04 PM
Whatever it is, Illinois ain't got it... the "it" being the ability to play with the same
intensity, savvy, and determination in two halves of a basketball game in a hostile
arena. After leading 34-23 at the half at Michigan State, the Illini came out and
surrendered a 28-5 Spartan run, made bad passes, took bad shots, essentially had
a total collapse.
Chester Frazier nearly pulled out a miracle by going on an 8-1 run to bring
the Illini within 3 with 2 minutes to go, but Drew Neitzel's 15-ft shot with 0:25
to go closed the door.
Up next: road game against Minnesota Wednesday.
