April 5, 200521 yr If they go to May everytime down we will be in a tough situation. We finally trap him and he finds Jawad for a trey.
April 5, 200521 yr What do you do if you're Weber? I put Powell and any tall guy on May every time he touches the ball. Not that I think it'll work, but it's the best I can come up with. At least Powell's got some strength.
April 5, 200521 yr Author I would double down on May and make him pass out, take your chances with UNC from outside. Atleast its not automatic at all.

April 5, 200521 yr Illini hit reality in this game once again and shots aren't sinking. They seriously need to get someone to clip May's knees. No possible way the Illini win this game.
April 5, 200521 yr 8 pts again I will be stunned if we win this, May is automatic everytime down the floor
April 5, 200521 yr They need to bump May every single time. He digs, you dig right back. If they call a foul Weber needs to get a technical yelling at the ref and proving his point. They need to rough May back. How do you make a man stronger than you weak??? By giving him your own blows.

Thing is, I don't know if any 2 Illini can guard him much better. And qwerty, I don't disagree, but at least w/ Powell May had to push. For everyone else, it looks like the guy's Moses, all resistance parting before him.
April 5, 200521 yr We need to jump every single pass lane since May getting the ball guarantees points. Slow this game down like the end of the Arizona one and hit threes and we have a shot.
April 5, 200521 yr *note - Illini need to get DeAndre Thomas for next year. If he was in there, I guarentee May uses up at least more energy. There's no way he could move that 300pound, 6-8 tank.
April 5, 200521 yr QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) Is it just me or does there seem like there is a timeout every 2 minutes? CBS has got to make money.
April 5, 200521 yr Author Its not just you Rex, its crazy. But atleast it gives Sean a chance to rest, yipee right Illini fans?
