Wow... Sad to see that Wisconsin three go down. Very well guarded, bad shot, and we had all the momentum. Rodgers playing great. Best game of the season for him thus far

That run without Mayer in there
He is going too fast, or the game is going too fast for him. His main thing is SQUARE UP when you shoot. But he's got a ton of ability and when it slows down for him, he's going to be good.
Hell, made layups and we'd be up by 10
How does Hawkins not shoot that one? smh
Epps having a helluva game - doesn't look overmatched by Hepburn

More assists than turnovers this half 7 to 2 (I can't believe we've only turned it over twice!!). Been a minute since that happened. The stat would be even better if we could hit more of our open shots. Much better intensity. Much better ball movement. Keep it up in the second half and steal this one.
A half time lead. BOOM.
Yep. Yep yep yep. Not surprised at all.

Totally disagree. I really like Ty.
Would like to see a Kendall Gill type of Sophomore jump with his shot heading into next season.
I think Harris and Eps are the rookie Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant of this team. Which raises an important question...who is the Jerry Krause of this team?
Happy with all around effort in the first half. Ball movement and communication. Team just seems like they are enjoying being out there today.

ps for those of you focused on bball.. Elzy committed to ILL
Good first half. Lots of passing and movement that we have not seen in a while. Rogers getting good tick and Harris/Epps combo is going tp be good.
Yes! I hope Ty is 1 that loves playing for Underwood. The game will eventually slow down for him snd he is gonna take off like a rocket when it happens. Good to see him getting minutes. That is the only way its gonna slow down for him.
Maybe ESPN has realized the error of their ways in giving us Fran Franschilla so often early in the season. Give me Robbie Hummel on the color call every game.
I REALLY WISH Hawkins would just turn into a catch and shot 3 and COMPLETELY eliminate the shot fake! All in all, much better half of basketball!
Now see…you were doing good; and then you went and ruined it with the Jerry Krause-thing. Lol
* I presume Epps is Horace? Will he be sporting those Horace goggles?

Good play call on our last possession to get a three at the top of the key. Of course Coleman did the pump fake into a tougher running shot. 
Someone needs to train away Coleman’s pump fake so he can be great.
Much better shot selection and energy. Rodgers bringing energy. Love Epps.
