Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[tcb13]

Booth got the rebound and had no idea what to do

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Not a bad half considering how hot wisconsin seemed shooting

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Just flub this one somehow. Win a game as the worse team.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Considering how we've looked and injuries, I'll gladly take being down six.

 

[champaignpak]

good fight to keep it close while wiscy couldnt miss

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

I will give credit for hanging in here when it was danger city!

 

[Oracle21]

Getting killed on the glass. Lucky to be down 6. Wisconsin was a little more sloppy with turnovers than they usually are.

[kyillinifan]

Good finish to the first half. With what this team has gone through not bad.

 

[BBlock24]

I’m SHOCKED we are only down 6 after that.

 

[ejam21]

Good contest on Ben there to stop tonje,

we got back in the game at least

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Mostly because we're terribly out of position to get a rebound

In the few minutes I have seen, this was noticeable.

 

[Jimbo]

OK, we showed some grit that half. That’s all we can ask for. Effort.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Just got home and turned it on. We are getting out rebounded 21 - 10? Holy cow.

I mean we have no healthy bigs on the roster so expected.

 

[ginabackes00]

He's been off ever since whatever he did to his wrist. And it seems at least as much mental as physical.

If I recall, this was the knock on him while being recruited. They're less painful when he's putting the ball in the basket more.

 

[stlrunner]

Just got home and turned it on. We are getting out rebounded 21 - 10? Holy cow.

No Morez and a sick and injured Tomi will do that.

 

[NASchamp]

Had some solid minutes there and got back into this thing. Let stay focused and keep this close. It’s not impossible!

 

[madcrazeeballa]

 

[zentrails]

KJ needs another year to clean up his game

Just about every NBA team out there would be happy to give KJ a year

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

What happened to Davis?

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

 

[Turn N’ Burn]

Who had Jake Davis starting and taking/making the first shot of the game on their bingo card? Wild times

 

[Jon]

Booth afraid to take the full court heave, woulda dropped his season Fg% from 10 to 9%

 

[skyIdub]

This isn't talked about enough ...

Is it just me or does Ben H. always look like a cat high on catnip that jumped onto aluminum foil when he's guarding or holding the ball?

 

[steveinspringfield]

I can't help but think what the score would be if Morez was able to play tonight. Probably up 6 instead of down 6.
If KJ starts playing well, Illini might steal this one.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Well, we're down 6 after playing awful defense almost all half, getting out-rebounded by 10, and KJ playing about as bad as he possibly could in the first half.
