Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

Shannon’s drives have been a joke

Booie and Edey have a combined 1,000 points in the career B10 games vs illinois it feels like

can't truly say I expected this, but there was certainly a high probability. NW is good, has size, and when they are motivated, can shoot all the lights out. Add in a half dozen phantom calls against Illini, and this is the outcome. Truly the biggest disappointment of all the losses....but it was one hellacious college game at the highest level....until OT.

This is not even close to more disappointing than losing to Maryland at home

He will need some time to get his mojo back

TSJ has alot of rust to work off

 

[Flyin' Illini]

21-7 off reb and shot over 40% from three. 22 FT attempts to their 6. Just crazy that we still lost.

While we're cherry picking stats, getting out shot by almost 20% it is unbelievable the game even made it to OT.

Not close to himself

 

[skyIdub]

I just don’t get it.

Why? They are shooting almost 60% in the second half. We missed 15 layups and I quit counting.

It's not complicated.

I mean…why are we not trying to hit 3s at this point?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Lost to a tournament team on the road in OT by 10. Not sure what’s embarrassing about that

Half of the crows was ours. We didn't have a go right guy in crunch to me, they did, it's a game that we were favored to win vs a team that we just beat by 30.

After losing to MD at home, we needed to find road wins and this was a prime opportunity.

We still don't have any truly quality wins on the season.

All facts. While it's not embarrassing, it's truly disappointing to lose this game.

We won’t have to worry about that next year. They’ll both be gone.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

NW just wanted it more. They are not better than Illinois, but were tonight at home

 

[CentralILLini]

Dont let them hang 100 on us

 

[Heisenbobble]

Underwood's refusal to give minutes to rotation pieces will be the downfall of this team. They've got dead legs with a ton of B1G games still left to play. Hell, did Ty even get many minutes in the 2nd half?

 

[JSpence]

Stop fouling. Get TSJ and Hawkins to the bench.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

“No Means No” for some reason seems infinitely less dumb and classless than “Guilty.”

Whatever … congrats on your Quad 1 win, Cats. We’re movin’ on.

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

61 percent from the 3? This seems like a pretty fluky win for Northwestern if you ask me. This was just like the upset they pulled off vs Purdue earlier this year.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Or any of the 13 layups we missed, some EXTREMELY wide open

 

[Illinifan33]

This game might as well been played at the park. Refs let NW foul all game long and then we played terrible defense on top of it.
