Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[Sizzler22]

No way DJW is here next year. Sucks, really like his game but just doesn't seem to have caught onto the flow of the game yet.....might just be because this offense doesn't flow at all.

AJ came in, put in effort, and after 2-3 minutes, made a mistake. He gone. How about we run one effing play to get him a bleeping shot when he's in? How about we let him play through one bleeping mistake before being yanked? One.

Groce seems to be content to be a proud captain of his sinking ship.

I would think he might listen to what a new coach has to say.

Per bigten.org, the Illini have no players in the top ten for minutes played in the conference (conference games only}

Neither does Maryland, MSU, Indiana, Rutgers, Iowa, Penn St or Northwestern.

50 year Illini supporter, this is close to the worst team I've ever seen. Pre Levi Cobb wasn't pretty either. Time for change

Different game back then. I'd say this mess may be worse. At least we had Spoon back then.

I really hope so. The motor is always a question but the young man has the ability.

So what

 

[BlindLoyalty]

A team that consistently defends so poorly like the Illini will never be a good team. Further, good teams have an identity and players know and accept their role. Illinois has a new starting lineup every week, roles aren't defined and neither the Coaches nor players know what to do week to week- game to game - half to half. A team like this is never going to go on a winning streak and is more likely to go on a long losing streak.

John Groce had his shot and he failed.

I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

How do you let Happ go end-to-end?

 

[Stevegarbs]

Trademarked. You owe me a nickel.

I still think an up tempo game with the current players will work. To hell with turnovers, I'd live with them, its better than dribble ,dribble, dribble, dribble then a turnover or wild shot from Tracy.

Bless you for your continued support, it will get better.

I know, what bothers me is of lack emotion, hustle and just plain bob smarts. Better days are ahead can't get any worse

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

So what

Exactly.

 

[Illiniaaron]

god the shooting is awful tonight

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Go watch Northwestern. They are a team to be proud of, even for us Illini fans.

Negative

 

[Jon]

3 solid defensive holds translates into us missing 4 shots. And finally mav gets to the line

Happ & Koenig are so strong fundamentally. How the game is to be played.

It's really poor bb and spoon was great

 

[GortTheRobot]

Announcers down to pointing out bananas in the crowd.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Happ just licking his chops waiting for Mav's first dribble, to poke it away. Coaching.

Let the Groce Doomsday clock begin....

 

[Second and Chalmers]

Wisky is discombobulated on offense. This is not over.

 

[RickBB]

Not that this will surprise anyone, but we are so easy to guard....there are no more than 2 people moving on the offensive end at any one time...

Amen. Play DJ too for goodness sake...
