This would be a good time to play our best and sneak a win across the state line.
Hopefully this is a bit of a "trap" game for Wisconsin, as we are sandwiched in between MSU and Iowa. However, its hard to see us winning up there, especially since Wiscy has been on a roll (7 game winning streak).
Tomorrow (Thursday) is the 12th anniversary of an infamous night for Illini hoops, angered people across the country. What happened?:rant:
Orange and red unis?
So much for a tough question! haha
If Wisconsin loses to us at home that likely knocks them out of the NCAA tournament.
It all hinges on which Mav shows up. If he can play like he did the last couple games, they have a shot. Also, Groce needs to keep his best 7-8 players on the floor, if he goes past 8 players then he isn't helping this team win games. If they can stay out of foul trouble it shouldn't be a problem playing 8 guys (Tate and Austin, dnp coaches decision) in a rotation.
If Groce does play Tate or Austin, 2 of these 3 (Tate, Austin, Lewis) should never be on the court together. It just grinds the offense to a halt and is a major contributor to the offensive lulls we have seen.
have Tate and Austin ever been in a game at the same time? They always subbed for each other. Tate's and Austin's last four game minutes played
Rutgers- 3- ot Tate 9 Austin 14
Iowa- Tate 10 Austin 4
NW- Tate 3 Austin 4
Rutgers- Tate 3 Austin 9
I think the sub patterns have been ironed out a lot more since DJW has gotten extended tick and Finke's injury.
So you know when your season is going bad... For some reason I decided to check on the women's score tonight on fighting Illini.com. They are winning big! However, the site has Purdue beating Wisconsin, not Illinois.:doh:
So much for a tough question! haha
I don't remember this. Do you have a picture photog? Perhaps a jersey in your man cave?
Assuming I'm thinking of the right game, we wore our orange unis while UW wore all red. It was a disaster on tv.
confidence back, and I honestly think he plays more than TJL next year.
I am not sure where to put this, but here is a favorable piece on Malcolm Hill.
