Illini lose to Duke in Maui Semi-final

This was a tough game to watch in person, not sure how it was on TV. I was even more amazed to look at the statistics after the game. BoxScore

Some observations:
-Randle looked good on offense and did a nice job on Singler.
-Alexander looked very athletic, and it hurt when he had to come out, since we had a hard time matching up with Duke's wings, Henderson in particular.
-Pruitt is amazingly struggling to finish short shots inside. Either he is a never going to the NBA, or the refs missed a lot of fouls. How can you make 4 of 12 shots when you play the post?
-Frazier plays tough as point guard and did not really give anything away to Paulus.
-Brock looks like he should start from his offense and defensive production. One more athlete in the lineup helps.
-Meacham had a rough shooting game, he will be better on other nights.
-Tisdale looks like a non-factor in a big game like this, still learning the offense and how to defend. Big potential, hopefully later this year.
-Cole sat on the bench, and we could have used his energy on offense and defense.
-Davis was brought in to guard some big guys from Duke, but did not give us much advantage. Good experience for him, though.
-McCamey is a good ball handler but had a tough night shooting the ball. He will get better as the year progresses.

The question for Weber: how will he get this team to be more effective on offense? Maybe he needs to try some new rotations, since we had a lot of dead time tonight, with a struggle to set up scores.
