Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[OrangeNBrood]

Drew Cayce rockin the Fifth Element.

Where's the guy who guaranteed a win on page 1?

He should get locked in a room with the Wisconsin drummer boy for 8 hours.

This is going to take 3/4 years just to be an average middle of the pack team. No way are Underwood & staff going to be able to recruit high end players to this mess.

Sorry, we are not this bad. We really aren’t.

How sure are you?

They are still running the hand off pass that has been denied all game, that should tell you where the coaching is tonight

The Illini won't win a game until the Mark's start scoring.

 

[ScalpEmIllini1980]

Watch, this year is so stupid, we'll beat MSU. It's Bassackwards Year.

Doubtful. This team couldn't beat a drug test with the Pope's pee, let alone knock off the mighty Minot State University.

We're doomed.

I am just watching for the sweet drum solos

BW didn't help things AFTER a runner up finish in the NCAA Championship game....

This is a rebuild that started after that great season... Should never have gotten to this point. Now that it is here, we have to dig out of the BW/JFG YEARS. Not going to happen overnight. Unrealistic to think anything different...

Our offense is more fun to watch, but I’ve seen no evidence that this coaching staff is an improvement over the last two in coaching winning basketball.

Every time I think it can't get any worse being an Illini fan, it somehow does. I'm gonna stop thinking that now.

I am going to need someone to explain to me why the hell TJL has not sniffed the court......If you are going to play walk-ons for anything other than picking up fouls or garbage time before scholarship players on purpose you better win the game and those kids better perform.

 

[Illini Beer 4 All]

hoping we don’t have a mass exodus after the season

Why would we care? Outside of Black, our freshmen are our best players

So how about those football hires?

 

[Spoon House]

Frazier doesn't trust his teammates other than Ebo and Black. Anybody else notice that?

Basketball rebuilds do not take that long. In football, yes; because of the physicality of the game. By year 3 this team needs to be dancing or the hire was wrong.

I'm guessing still in the doghouse.

I just can't call Alstork a bust. He works so hard, all the time. Rebounds a ton, plays hella defense. But I do wish he was more of an offensive weapon.

 

[skyIdub]

F' it. Give me Frazier, Smith, Spicy, Mahteets, and Black. If we're gonna get our butts kicked, let all the freshman get them kicked so much, they come back with a vengeance.

freshmen can transfer

 

[Illini4life04]

I like number 4's shot, he needs to keep launching

Weren't you complaining about the pick and roll not being a part of the offense earlier (when it was working)?

 

[GoIllini23]

Ebo might b the best pick up of the underwood era sans Frazier

 

[Spoon House]

LOL, Vesel's brick after the whistle made me actually bark out a laugh

Yeah, he's not a bust at all, but I am just scratching my head trying to figure out how NBA was mentioned with his name even in jest.

can you blame him?
