    Illinois 88, Michigan 73 Postgame

    Absolutely not taking anything away from a good win but good lord is Michigan soft. I’d commit ritual suicide if I had to root for that team.

    Pregame: Illinois at Michigan, Thursday, January 18th, 7:30pm CT, FS1

    For some folks -- dunno what to call them, so let's just settle on 'people whose kids try to avoid talking with them on Thanksgiving' -- free throws will always be the problem. But you're not wrong. Since the FAU game, they're hitting at about 81%. And more importantly, they've gotten to the...

    Maryland 76, Illinois 67 Postgame

    They can still run without him and they’ve really slowed down the past few games, which I think has hurt us. (If you’re not gonna rebound anyway you might as well get out on the break.)

    Illinois 71, Michigan State 68 Postgame

    I think the choice to roll with Goode and Harmon over Rodgers (who only got 20 minutes) and Dain had something to do with it as well. I've got no beef with how Underwood chose to allocate playing time, but some guys are gonna be better at some things than others. I think we picked our poison...

    Illinois 71, Michigan State 68 Postgame

    We had eight fewer missed field goals than they did, so the discrepancy was worse than the total number of rebounds would indicate. MSU, which is slightly above average on the offensive glass this year, got a fairly robust 33% of their misses. We got 25% despite being well above average as a...

    If this thread were a physical location I would be welding the door shut from the outside right now.

    Of course, the last time he did that MSU went to Lincoln and lost in a way that looked quite a bit like the way they lost to Wisconsin and Northwestern. Guy just needs to buy a pickleball paddle and move to Boca like everyone else his age.

    I don’t think there’s anyone in the same area code as Edey physically this year. Guy has something like four inches on Kofi, so how do you plan your roster around stopping him? The guy who killed us imo was Kaufmann-Renn. We had a chance to dig our way out of that hole with Edey on the bench...
