Wisconsin scored 70 points in 71 possessions against them.

They had a bad night against UNC.

And none of their biggest 4 games were at home. 2 were in Maui and the other two were true road games.

For comparison, Purdue scored 71 points in 74 possessions against Tennessee. They scored 78 points in 68 possessions against Marquette. Kansas scored 69 points in 72 possessions against Tennessee and 69 points in 60 possessions against UConn.

Watched the Wisconsin game, they just missed a ton of threes.

Kansas shot 52%

UNC obliterated them.

I'm not as impressed as you are, but that's okay. Lets just get the W.

My brother-in-law went to Tennessee. Would like to run an Illini victory in his face! Lol

Saturday afternoon college basketball on CBS. Man, there's some nostalgia and comfort in this. Especially, with my guy Bill Raftery.

LOL. It's not about impressed. I'm throwing out actual statistics and you're going by your own eye test. But you do you bro.

As excited about the results of this team as any in recent memory. Today will be a very tough place to win. Love to win this one

I was going to say the same thing. Dude's got cannons.

I've provided statistics as well. As someone else pointed out they're currently 35th in defensive efficiency. Not elite.

They're 2nd on KenPom and Torvik so I have no idea where the 35th comes from.

You haven't thrown out any statistics. You said "Wisconsin scored 80 on them" when they actually scored 70 and then you said Wisconsin "missed a bunch of 3s".

 

[skyIdub]

Checking in.

LFG!

It comes from this season data. What you're looking at relies strongly on last seasons data still.

 

[PopChampaign]

They've scouted us well

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

So much for a low-scoring, defensive slugfest...

 

[PopChampaign]

Guerrier on fire lfg

 

[abchew2]

Someone found his stroke!

 

[Ramrod2010]

Wow. I believe they seat just short of 22,000. Does the upper deck go as high as you can see? Your picture shows how far it bows out in back of the basket.

Yeah it's large. You can see the top in my picture (section numbers are just near the top of the picture).

Good start by QG. UT is getting to the rim too easily. That needs to stop.

 

[Bigtex]

All tenn points in the paint. Defense needs to pickup

 

[Illini8420]

giving up too much inside

 

[skyIdub]

Speaking of guns.....Knecht?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was one hell of an offensive possession by Tenn
