Interesting take and I see the logic. But I am sure the Illinois staff would not agree.
After making a Final Four run they want to take it to the championship, and didn’t put a team together that they see on paper as being less of what they were last year.
For me I feel like this is the first must win game of the season. Can’t loose two straight.
Wisconsin is good, and we have looked a bit tired lately. Especially Wagler.
I am so snake bitten that I get triggered every time I see a players name on the front page. “Out for the season”, “Transferring”, “Suspended” “suspected of tax evasion". I go right to the worst possible scenario.
Congratulations Keaton. Well deserved.
