Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[CoalCity]

We finally run an out of bounds play, Malcolm sprints! To the corner and throws up a brick off a wide open 3. Ugh.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

WI knows he is missing them.

No, we've been doing that all year.

 

[OrangeKrus28]

On a side note, this is what B10 basketball is supposed to be about. A grind-it-out, possession-by-possession battle.

 

[freebird6]

Hill and JCL both just bricked... we need our guys to be able to clutch it if we want to keep this interesting.

Hill is having a time...coming across on the OOB several times tonite with wide open corner shots and not finding bottoms. Even if he was a respectable 40% from 3 this would be a one possession game

 

[Poe's Law]

Tate feeds off our disappointment

This was the best laugh i've had since the game started.

 

[Illinoiser33]

Jesus hill stop with the threes and get to the rim.

Missed 2 wide open 3s, take it to the flipping basket!

Too soft.... loves them fadeawayS.

 

[westms77]

Hill just can't hit an open shot

Hill has looked slow and tired all season...sad

 

[GortTheRobot]

Everyone's shot is short tonight. Get 'em some Red Bull and let's win this thing.

Stephen Jackson has a different remedy.

Well, if it's Wisky versus us, for sure.

 

[Deleted member 11241]

I'm so sick of seeing so many 3s. Drive the damn ball to the basket!!!!

 

[Illini1221]

This lineup is....interesting.

 

[BZuppke]

Lazy on offense. Almost turn it over for lack of effort to hang onto ball

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Stephen Jackson has a different remedy.

Well, there's the student-athlete thing.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

This game will be decided by whether Wisconsin wants to keep the pedal down for 40 minutes or not. We're not going to go away.

 

[CoalCity]

This 8 point game feels like down20.

 

[LurkLongandProsper]

This lineup is....interesting.

Problem with our lack of production at the 1 spot (and 2 when JCL is sitting) is that it almost feels like it requires us to play Finke, and his defense does not allow heavy minutes

 

[GortTheRobot]

Well, there's the student-athlete thing.

I'm am sure they all steadfastly stick to those rules.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

This 8 point game feels like down20.

Disagree. We're right in this.

 

[Adnarel]

Wisconsin has already failed to keep the pedal down.

We have failed to capitalize appropriately. Thus far.

 

[CoalCity]

Terrible call. Ball off Wisconsin.

 

[IllinoisFanAtFSU]

What the heck just happened with that officiating, so deflating

 

[Trakis]

feels like the wheels are going to start coming off now.

 

[oldman]

we need to hire their rebounding coach

 

[CoalCity]

Hayes used Kipper. Senior vs freshman.
