Why did Wagler only play 14 minutes the first UConn game? I know they were trying to give Petro a chance but of the other games around that time Wagler played so little minutes.

And we did the same thing and won, too! Hopefully our team is the one that comes back to normal
Saturday. I saw it get up to like $775 last night and it’s down to $440 for Saturday.

We went from likely being around +5.5 underdogs to opening as a -2.5 favorite on Saturday.
Developments continue to go our way.
Win this game and a 3OT bruiser in the game after ours would be a continued positive development.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
It's tough to beat a good team three meetings in a row.
The Illini are a great team. This one is ours.

Whoops. You are right. I flipped with the odds for Michigan (-1.5). Updated post.
Time for the fellas to get fired up to avenge the worst game you played all year.
Let it rip. Nothing to lose.

And the best coach.
Way better than Scheyer who comes into every season with the most talent plus favorable officiating.
UConn may not be as good as they were 2 years ago, but are they as good when they kicked out butts earlier in the season? I think we're a better team, but I am not confident we'll win. I do think it will be a close game and not a blowout like last time.
Yeah the more I watched Duke, the more beatable they looked.
Their entire offense was simply Boozer bullying his way to the basket. I think Mirk has the frame and toughness where he could have held up(though of course you worry about Duke getting a friendly whistle), but I also think you could have actually played both the twins together and that Zvonimir's length would have given him fits(Boozer isn't going to blow by anyone and if you don't bite on the pump fakes he doesn't create any separation).
I'm surprised we are even favored by that much. To me, this is as close to a toss up game as it gets.
Section 627, row 12 for all sessions. Bought them from a Purdue friend who is very sad.
UConn will be a different matchup than the first game. They’ve taken Jaylin Stewart pretty much out of the rotation (he started and played 24 minutes first game), and gave Mullins most of his PT. And Tarris Reed is obviously healthy now. He was a complete non-factor the first game coming off an injury.
For IL the major difference is the emergence of Wagler. He only played 14 minutes in that first game. And Petrovic actually played 18 minutes.

This ones for for the Elite 8 Squad.
I used to lament that we never got the bracket to unfold favorably for us. This is the year that, without a doubt, the bracket unfolded favorably for us. And we have been taking advantage. This is what building a team that is consistently good does. Just gives you bullet after bullet to make a run if things can go your way.
Look at our minutes allocation from that game too…haha
Because we’re better
Hold on. I saw the half time score.
Are you telling me UCONN came back to win?
Do we like this? I was hoping for Duke

Welp... I'm excited for the games, but a bit sad to see we overpaid about $200 per ticket for my seats. Prices plummeted after Duke lost.
