Week of 2/23 Games Thread

[GTL Adam]

Northwestern moved to 69 in the NET, making our win there the 8th Quad 1 win. There are only 3 teams with more.

As hard as it is to say, we need Mizzou to win a few more to bring them in to the top 50. We don’t really have any others on the border of Quad 1 / 2

St. John's hasn't scored a single point in over 10 minutes of game time.

SJU had a 7.5 minute scoreless stretch in the first half, followed by an 11.5 scoreless drought in the second half. Almost 20 minutes of game time without scoring a point. I don't think I've ever seen that. Embarrassing.

I don't know about you guys, but aside from when we face them, I don't really care about Nebraska. Pretty fun team to watch, and I have a lot of respect for Hoiberg, too.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Valiant effort by Maryland, but man that’s not a very good team.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Maryland looked like they had a shot until they stopped running offense.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Texas completely implodes.

St Johns with 14 pts in the 2nd half - sure would like to hear what Pitino said in the locker room!

 

[fatboyslim]

Texas completely implodes.

They really did. A ton of turnovers in the last 7-8 minutes?

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Texas completely implodes.

The sheer number of times I saw this gif last season.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ohio State’s game against Purdue will be a must win if they wanna make the tournament.

they way they play and are coached....I don't think they wanna make the tournament

Valiant effort by Maryland, but man that’s not a very good team.

It was the most spastic offensive movement I've watched all year - no confidence or intention. Just really hard passes at seemingly random times. They play hard as heck though.

No clue who this is… the color commentator in this Iowa game is horrible.

That would be Earl Watson.

Illini are a minute away from clinching a double bye in the BTT.

[ImGonnaBeILL]

St johns shot 19% from the field for the game vs UConn

 

[Piotyr]

With Ohio State's loss, Illinois has clinched a better B1G record than them, and can finish no worse than 8th (tied for 7th really, but let Iowa have this a minute).

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Illini are a minute away from clinching a double bye in the BTT.

Illinois had already clinched it after Ohio State lost to Sparty over the weekend.

 

[fatboyslim]

Illini are a minute away from clinching a double bye in the BTT.

We were very lucky to get this

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Unbelievable end to regulation in Oregon State game. Beavers up by 3 with 4 seconds left and instead of fouling, they let San Diego roll the ball up court and then hit a 3. Please, please fire Tinkle. At least Beavers won in OT.

Can't be Bill Walton anymore. Dickie V?

 

[Hoopster]

If the badgers don't get their act together quickly, they're going to lose to a bad Oregon team

 

[Miles Leonard]

Wisconsin in trouble against Oregon. Down 8 with 3:50 to go.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Wisconsin down 13 with 3 min left to oregon ?
