This feels like last game early lead, looking good and then nothing for the rest of the half.

Seems like Illinois' defensive pressure has dropped a bit, and they are in a scoring dry spell.
Hope that timeout stops that, since Wisconsin is starting to settle down.

This team has mental lapses on the defensive end with the basic concepts of man to man defense or rotations. Every player is guilty. They just don't maintain their composure on the defensive end. That is the most frustrating thing for me with this team. This had been a consistent issue all year.

Illini are 3-12 from inside the arc. Wisconsin is 11-18.
The two are related, and IMO a sign of a mentally weak team. If you play poor defense when your shots aren't falling, you're going to lose a lot of games. Gotta maintain defensive intensity to be a decent team
the object of the swing O and playing good D
Tired of hearing it's been a record breaking game for the bad guys...every time...
Another really bad sign when you have a poor finish to the half.

Really Malcolm? terrible pass and then you know the clock is running down and you don't pressure? And we had fouls to give? You are better than that.
Why can't the Illini ever maintain their defensive intensity? They started the game flying around but once again ended the half passive. What gives?
bench isnt deep enough
Wob wob waaaaaaa
