Wow, I have just had my heart ripped out of my chest by the Illini. Going into Monday night, I’m sure most people thought we would handle Miami at home. Turns out, we’d get down huge early, yet lose a heartbreaker.
There are still a couple of great takeaways from this game. Kofi Cockburn is unstoppable. The only problem, though? He wasn’t on the floor much down the stretch. Trent Frazier and Alan Griffin we’re knocking down shots. This is huge.
A huge reason the Hurricanes were able to get off to their early lead was the poor shooting for the Illini.
