Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[GallopingGhost]

At least both our best players have 2. Evens out?

 

[LoveLovie]

What a shot

 

[bergd91]

Man horrible officials today, I thought they fired this crew. Shannon on bench and Wahl. Let em play my goodness!

 

[IlliniReb]

No no no YEESSS!,,

 

[New Creation]

Horrible shot but got bailed out with the foul but also made it haha.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Is 5 total points at first TO bad?

64 total point pace. 33-31 anyone?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

They dared Melendez to shoot there.

 

[IlliniReb]

Too much time to think about for RJ

 

[HailtotheChief]

RJ has been so far off on open looks for a few games now. Not even close.

Simply means your leading scorer will not play for almost 40% or more of the game which greatly reduces your chance to win...especially on the road in the B1G. Given this team's lack of leadership...who in their right mine would bet a nickel on a win.

And as soon as that gets posted...Wisky's leading scorer picks up his second foul and evens the tilt. And Mayer hits a three!! This is why you play the games.

 

[Illynois]

Yikes, this is some ugly offense.

 

[New Creation]

Why are ALL of RJs shot short. All of them. When he takes a step in from 3 he is money. Shooting like 9% from 3. At some point you have to stop shooting.

 

[azillini1]

RJ is just frustrating because you expect his wide open shots are going in.

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

Bardo saying Illinois most talented team in the conference. For those who say he never has anything good to say about us.

 

[GallopingGhost]

This seems to be the “where is the offense?” Lineup for both teams lol.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

You could almost see RJ thinking on that last 3 attempt. Has to just set and fire — no hesitation, no thinking.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

When RJ pushes he is awesome … really wish he would stop settling for 3s (that he’s not making)

 

[dbeverly26]

Man, RJ needs a couple of easy ones

 

[bergd91]

you know it's not good when a 7 to 3 score forces a timeout. Just awesome, I'm gonna start drinking.

 

[logjam]

I may be a bit biased, but I feel like the refs are against us more than any team in the country and have been for a while lol. We get no favors on the road and we sure as !!!! get no favors at home.

 

[New Creation]

Foul on Harris…

 

[hoopsfan47]

Really don't think Wisky is any threat to beat a good team playing above avg. This game is a big, beautiful apple sitting there waiting to be plucked. All it takes is a little want to.

 

[bergd91]

Wow Matthew the Texas boy is tuff! What a pancake on the floor.

 

[New Creation]

I like watching rogers be aggressive. Something we need

 

[SaintLIllini]

Slow game
