When was the last time we beat Wisconsin? In football or basketball, for that matter.

We have a chance if Ayo & Trent can go out there and learn have fun together. Idk, if they can be successful together the Illini will be fun to watch.

We have no one to stop Ethan Happ.

He is averaging 19.8ppg/10.3rpg/4.8apg. He is going to produce no matter what we scheme against him. It’s making sure we keep anyone else from having a career game that will keep us in it. Happ will find a way to get his. That’s what all-Americans do.

2011 for basketball, 2007 for football. Yikes.

The years of being mired in mediocrity and irrelevancy start to to go by pretty fast. To be an Illini fan is to start talking about next year in mid-January. "When you use up all your tomorrows, all you have is a lot of empty yesterdays."

Badgers have lost to Miin,Maryland and Purdue. Took it to Michigan hard in the paint
We are going to need to shot at high percentage every game, to be competitive, does not appear the defense is going to able to get it done.

We try to play fast. They try to play slow. Both games last year they had fewer turnovers than we did. With our defense it’s impossible to win without turnovers. That will decide the game.

Minnesota had less turnovers than we did last week.

At 49%, it looks like Happ has the second-worst FT% of all players 6'7" or taller in the B10. And he's at 42% in 2019. Hack-a-Happ?

Love to see Georgi and Samba together but leaves no big in reserve. Maybe next year with Kofi and Antwan. Despite the loss thought TJ and SK showed progress. Really believe it will be tough to knock TJ out of a starting spot next year even if we get CB. No chance this year but development possible for future success.

Illinois leads 38 - 35 at halftime. Ayo and Trent make lots of threes.

However, WI dominates the second half and wins 80 - 70.

Trust the friendly cat.

wouldn’t mind him starting from here on out if i had to be honest. Ayo Trent Tev Kipper Giorgi is probably our biggest and most athletic lineup we can roll out with. 3 guys 6”6+, and a 6”5 combo guard.

Based on recent performance Kipper needs to sit. He should be last scholarship player off the bench before the walkons.

My first game since the AHSFC renovation. It's been a long time. Monicals here I come!
Not sure which location you're referring to, but just so you know, the location on Kirby near Neil closed a few years ago.
