Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Illini4Christ]

What a cheap foul.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

So soft

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

You never see Wagler complain about calls like that

 

[FloridaMan]

Just not tough enough to defend this team. Lindeborg is very unlikeable in every way.

 

[TheodoreRex]

I've talked smack about Mara in the past- he's eating our bigs lunch... I'll eat my crow- he and Morez just dominating this game.

 

[Mistakenj]

Our defense is dog sh*t

 

[HouTexIllini]

And a dumb foul from Wagler

 

[KBLEE]

Not a foul

 

[UCantHideYer]

Ghost whistle on Keaton

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

Have to hit threes to win this … no way around it.

for less talented and less athletic teams that is ALWAYS the case

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Have to hit threes to win this … no way around it.

You can't even get the chance if you keep turning it over. When we haven't turned it over, we've ran good offense.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Whete’s the foul there?

 

[New Creation]

Has Wagler hit the freshman wall. Seems the physicality has wore him down. I hope not but it seems that way.

He has 15 ... with 3 fouls.. he hasn't hit a wall, he is getting the other teams top defender. He is on the top of the scout... before he was #3 or 4.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

15 FT to 5. Phantom fouls called, body blows not called.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Wagler needs to stop doing that

Ya, it worked for a few weeks, but is getting a little old and unsuccessful now

 

[Illinisnake]

We never get calls at home

 

[Retro62]

Interior D is awful. We have to lock in and body up.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

To be clear, we have been outplayed so far, but it also feels like every stray bounce of the ball is going RIGHT TO THEM.

 

[Iamgroot]

When did ahen take over our defense ucla going forward?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Have to hit threes to win this … no way around it.

Before the game, we were going back and forth about what needed to do from three and I benchmarked 15 to 16 makes needed. Hopefully, we either starting ringing the bell or Michigan gets extremely sloppy.

 

[Oracle21]

We’re trying to pick up the energy but they have answers for everything. Other than Gayle who looks lost, all their guys are in a good flow

 

[TonyClifton]

Refs out to get us after Brad complained and sent videos of bad calls to the league

 

[Illini-Rule]

Whete’s the foul there?

He reached in and even if you don't make contact they are going to call that the majority of the time.

 

[ejam21]

You never see Wagler complain about calls like that

probably bc he gets fouled 2-3 times per possession then they call that cheap crap

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Great TO by Dusty. Wish Brad would do that then draw up a play. Get this to 4 and anything can happen. Don't let it get away from us.
