Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[blife]

We need to get some stops and Defensive boards. Or this could be out of reach sooner than later

 

[Jon]

Why does Ben get so many minutes?

Who else we got

 

[blueguy]

At least we know it’s over early and don’t have to have our hearts ripped out late.

 

[chief]

a timeout, hmmmm

 

[hiberto]

At some point the argument that we can just live with KJ turnovers because of the other stuff is just dumb logic!

yep just like we can shoot an infinite number of threes because we rebound a lot of our misses, which are many

 

[grantlab]

Granted.... This is the 11th ranked team in the country.

This is where the program is this year. The last 4 years, this never mattered. We showed up regardless.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This is really tough to watch sadly. I'd say we're shooting pretty well and yet down 12. We just don't have much of anything right now and no ability to defend them. Unfortunate but is what it is. Gotta keep fighting and hope but Wisconsin appears to have a mismatch in their favor at every single position

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

I think we need to chuck more 3s ...

 

[HailtotheChief]

Flat rushed shots suck..

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Team is lost, they walked on the floor beat. Will needs to show he belongs. Frick Jake may be one of our best

 

[IndyOrange]

UI doesn’t look like a tourney team to me.

 

[madillini4]

We suck

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Right now? When wasn't he?

 

[CleverHandle1]

Great three-pointer by Jake!! Klunker by Jake!! Yay, Jake: 2/3. Fourth shot? A horrible airball breakage of the backboard!! LOL!

This is who they are. Maybe things will change, but I doubt it.

 

[Class_of_2020]

Doom and gloomers spot on once again. Blind positivity helps no one. Wake up

 

[BryceHopkins]

Granted.... This is the 11th ranked team in the country.

Just wait til Saturday!

 

[BBlock24]

This is the new normal for this season. All we can hope for is to not lose out and hope to get fully healthy by the tourney.

Then see what happens.

 

[Retro62]

Have we ever been accused of being a fundamentally sound team? It’s why Gard is able to always have competitive teams.

 

[spillini]

Can someone speculate on what our offensive game plan is? Looks no different than if they were told nothing at all

 

[Flyin' Illini]

This is really tough to watch sadly. I'd say we're shooting pretty well

33%

 

[RickF]

N.I.T. Baby!!!

 

[HailtotheChief]

I think we need to chuck more 3s ...

We are getting some inside shots but they are line drives and those suck!

 

[derrick6]

This is quite depressing, especially with Brad not starting Tomi and then he subs in. Seems like he’s vying for sympathy

 

[dainjazoner]

another pathetic showing from brad and hamer

 

[spillini]

The commentator just said that Bran underwood said we don’t really run an offense we just look for matchups.

Gotta have guys that can take their defender one on one. Need KJ and Wil to get it done.

It shows
