Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

Nice no call on the hook by Happ

 

[Sizzler22]

They aren't even running the spread offense

We are the worst team in the Big Ten and we are putting in a lot of effort tonight to prove that to anyone who doubts it.

WALK ON IN THE GAME

Cayce in before Lucas.....

 

[jrod1286]

We still have time to losing by 20 before half time.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Need to play a little bit of defense.

 

[Spoon House]

Lucas with 0 tick.

Playing what hes 0-1 Smith and Damonte have not even attempted a shot .

You cant have all 3 of them deciding to play the same none offensive role because we simply don't have the weapons for it to work at all .

Now you say?

 

[IlliniForTheWin]

mark smith is a ghost. we have no big men.

 

[JamesB]

67% in the first half. Layup drill, and when we forced outside shots they nailed them. I predict a better effort by us in the 2nd half, to only lose by 6. Not too shabby.

 

[IlliniForTheWin]

will we win a big ten game this year?

 

[Sizzler22]

Can anyone explain to me what happened to the offense that is supposed to be running. When did Underwood's offense become pick and roll based??

 

[BRucks]

Has this team improved on anything since the year began?

 

[TownieMatt]

Lucas needs to play. He at least facilitates the offense. Would like to see more AJ too. It almost feels like BU is channeling Lovie right now, just playing freshman for experience.

 

[PlayAZ]

Alright within 11, got Wisky right where we want them...

The are terrible actually, out rebounded by us, only 2 more steals, only 3 more assists, and they are HORRIBLE shooters...only 66.7% on almost what 100% layups.

Man that is bad, ILLINI with pressure no back doors given up and a 13-4 run to start the 2nd to close the gap.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Good god people. We play more freshman than almost anyone in the country. In two years I'll take my chances against anyone in the country.

Wisconsin is younger than us and just having there way with us

I realize we are playing better competition, but it feels like we have gotten worse.

 

[Spoon House]

I don't mind them running it. Wisconsin is not handling it well.

We are just following our usual pattern of shooting ourselves in the foot enough to make up for any spark of life the offense shows.

Maybe he has lost confidence in Lucas and AJ isn't and hasn't brought anything of merit really for a couple of games now.

Cut the team at least a bit of slack, if the second half doesn't completely turn (their shooting percentage most certainly will) we will be 0-7 in BIG conference.

We start 2 freshman and the BIG sent us on the road for 5-7. It's a brutal start no matter how you slice it. This team will win multiple BIG games once the schedule begins to even out.

 

[Spoon House]

Very troubling to me to see that Lucas didn't get in at all. It means that whatever he did or said really has him on Underwood's bad side. Can you imagine being on Underwood's bad side? I'd be terrified.

You got a Scholly to Duke you say?
