Week of 2/12 Games Thread

[Illini_1979]

Excited to watch Caitlin Clark set a record tonight, but I have to say this makes me question her personal judgment: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/caitlin-clark-boyfriend-connor-mccaffrey-204000777.html

Won’t last once she gets out of the state of Iowa

Are you saying there's a place better than Iowa? With all the corn, crick swimmin, knee bangin hootanannies, corn, cousin diddlin, and corn?

 

[OB positive]

So while watching NW/Rutgers game they show that Williams was named big10 player of the week. How do they come to those decisions. I looked back at our boxscore for last week and Hawkins or TSJ either one should have gotten it over him if you are just going by stats.

Flagrant 2 against NW tonight. He gawn. It was a low blow..

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Super glad Dennis did not choose IL. Our offense is elite without him and inserting him into the lineup in place of Ty Rodgers would be a death knell to this already shaky defense.

FWIW, Torvik has them RayJ and Domask equal defensively. I think you could play RayJ and Ty together, just like we play Domask and Ty together.

That said, I don't put a ton of stock into individual defense ratings.

 

[HailtotheChief]

If talking to a crowd is a T that too small hand gesture that is certainly directed at players definitely should be. I hate when anyone does that gesture and it is 100 percent poor sportsmanship. No way David Robinson or Kareem ever do that crap n God knows they could damn near every time they scored! Most that do aren't near that good.

You just described Indinia to a "T" . . .

 

[HailtotheChief]

Jeremiah Williams is a solid PG on both ends. Kinda wish we had him

He's been great since he became eligible for them.

RU has stepped it up big time in the second half. Glad we went to the rac when we did.

Love the way Rutgers’ guards stunt and dig at the post man and force him to pick up the ball. Our guards need to do that more and be more “ferocious” to offer Coleman help without committing to a post trap. Also, did we miss out with Jeremiah Williams… he’s looked darn good

She did it.

I feel like he demands too much focus. He needs to be primary ball handler. Maybe he could back off a bit with our other weapons. But he fits really well with Rutgers

 

[foby]

Williams stuffs Nicholson. I've avoided saying I'm sorry we didn't land him until now. He looks freakin' awesome and would have fit right into our team.

 

[Miles Leonard]

FAU has to make it a point to make life more difficult for themselves. Temple cuts the deficit to 4.

Jeremiah Williams is a baller, 2nd time I've watched him this year. I think it worked well for RU and IL.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

The mildcats seem to be missing Berrys shot, but they are in the BooZone now.

Well he is likely Rutgers best player and he certainly is on offense. Plus if he has a covid year and he should then he has 2 years left. I would actually love to have him. He may end of all conference one day.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

4.5 left, up 3, NW inbounding. Does Rutgers foul on the inbound?

Kid is really good ... There's a reason we went after him ...

Totally agree ... Wish we had him ...

BUT at the time of the decision to pass on him ... It was the right decision ...

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Did Boo get fouled there?

 

[hiberto]

Looked like an obvious foul on the buie 3-point attempt but no call by the refs. rutgers wins

 

[Bbuck21]

What was Rutgers doing by not fouling immediately. I think it was a foul from 3.

Domask is performing much better in the role he's in now.
