Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[DB11Headband]

boy we kinda look gassed already - glad wisconsin is having a crappy start

The understatement of the year

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Wisky playing zero post defense. But we're racking up the questionable turnovers.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Some silly turnovers by the Illini but good pace and great defense so far. This game could easily be 20-2. Hawkins looking good today.

 

[PNWIllini]

Wisky breaks their scoring drought with a Potter 3. Giorgi then called traveling

 

[Cairo]

There you go DMFW

It’s early, but Damonte and Trent are playing exactly as we’d hope with Ayo out. Seniors. Leaders.

Is that 7 turnover graffic correct?? And we're up?

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Omfg tennessee just lose already

Yes, Wisconsin isn't taking advantage yet though.

Very good defense and poor Whisky shooting, but the TO's (1 a minute) is a concern. With their shooting, we should be up 15 now.

Is something wrong with Wisconsin's hoop? I mean, the defense has been good, but wow, they can't get anything to fall...

1 for 15 usually translates into a loss....but then who knows?

It was my fault, I said our passing looked good and they threw it away (badly) on thee of the next five. Sorry.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Finally switched over.

Like to see DMW shooting!

Honestly, it's felt like more than that to me. Real crappy passing from us so far. Frazier literally threw it right to a Wisconsin player trying to get the ball to Grandison. And Curbelo tried to thread an insane half-court bounce pass past multiple defenders (that failed spectacularly). It's been sloppy.

 

[New Creation]

Williams with 8

 

[LostinNebraska]

Gorgeous drive and dish by Ace

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Like to see DMW shooting!

And making!

 

[CentralILLini]

I think Grandy is a starter next year.

 

[Retro62]

Can Dakich stop calling Kofi Ayo

 

[hoopsfan47]

Down 8-2 on turnovers....and leading by 11?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Curbelo going to rack up 10 assists today.

 

[azillini1]

9 TO's in less than 11 minutes and we are up 10. My goodness we are 8 of 10 from the field!!!!

Pretty funny that WI is too small for the triple team to work.
