Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[SilverTurbo]

I know. Did he get a girlfriend or what?

Draft boards are projecting KJ to have a s**t ton of turnovers based on potential!

 

[PopChampaign]

got dubbed, insane

Awful now but actually not ashamed of the effort and fight - thought we responded with some juice at numerous junctures.. that said, tough to win on the road when your lottery player put together a highlight compilation that would even make booths season highlights look incredible

Great posts. We definitely gave it our all against the #11 team on the road. Kudos to Underwood!

Now, there is a piece of common sense here.

Wisconsin is very, very good. Let's not let that get lost.

Time to put Underwood on hot seat.

softest team ever. all the underwood defenders out there... hes been awful all year.

I'm so upset that DGL hasn't gotten more time this year. I know he needs help on D but he plays with such heart. Why would he stay for another year.

I so hate the NIL era. My favorite thing was to watch freshmen become seniors. Sense that will literally never happen again. Sigh

This is why Trent will always hold a special place in our hearts. I know he doesn’t tick the boxes to get a banner, but not many represented the heart and soul of Illinois basketball more than Trent.

Wisconsin was favored by 3.5 LOL

If DGL isn’t starting on Saturday I don’t even know what to say at this point.

I think we know exactly what to say: what kompromat do the other players have on Brad that keeps them starting over DGL?

 

[SilverTurbo]

Maybe he should hire experienced assistants and not family and buddies

 

[Jimbo]

Good sportsmanship by Gard.

I couldn't agree more. My son's favorite Illini ever, which makes me so proud

 

[DB11Headband]

Show me another point guard drafted in the lottery who averages 1.0-0.7 assist to turnover ratio.

I'll wait.

You really don’t know how this works. Back under the bridge you go

 

[tcb13]

That dude scored against us

Brad is lost

 

[PopChampaign]

we got COOKED - Can't wait to see how badly Duke violates us

 

[DICKnaggie]

It's insane to me that we don't look at KJ'S regression in terms of leadership and lack of coaching. He is just 18! Brad has !!!! the bed this season. His talent evaluation, his scheme based on said talent evaluation, his inability to adjust mid season, continued problems with SLOBS and BLOBS, and all of that falls on freshmen? Like last week's presser? How is Josh ok with this crap?

 

[dainjazoner]

can someone explain how underwood sat dra for this long. boswell is awful
