IL Basketball

I got so frustrated watching last year's basketball team. There was loads of talent, but they were consistently lacking on the effort end. I would much rather watch a team play with lots of effort and not have the talent. Of course it's always nice when they do have the talent to match the effort. That's when you get the teams like Kentucky, N.C, Duke, and Kansas. Talent and effort.

The good thing is that this year's IL team has the talent and play with the effort. The only thing that may be holding them back is some immaturity/lack of confidence which will result in some bad choices. That being said, I would much rather see a team play aggressive and make some mistakes, than a lazy team. Excited about the season after tonight's win vs. Maryland in the Big Ten/ACC challenge!

Cayle went to spend the afternoon with some friends, as his regular sitter was unavailable. They had a little basketball hoop set up. Apparently Cayle shot baskets all afternoon.... :-) It makes me laugh!
