Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Hopingfor500]

Can Underwood please get Damonte out the game and stop starting him and playing him.

I agree on the getting him out of the game part. He's a turnstile right now.

Sheesh Griffen. Obvious foul.

 

[skyIdub]

Refs have this one now.

 

[bombayIllini]

30 seconds.

3 fouls.

1 Turnover

To start the 2nd half.

 

[illini2002]

Nobody can stop king

 

[LostinNebraska]

Cheap cheap cheap foul on AG.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Griffin..........WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!

 

[illini mcg]

Damontes can't guard King

 

[QCillini48]

3 straight baskets scored on DMW by Kobe King to start the half! Like I said, its 4 on 5! I dont know when or why people label him a good defender but all he does is run and rebounds... period!

He is absolutely atrocious at this level imo!

 

[Illinidpm]

Wow... 3 dumb fouls by us... seriously... and maybe I’m bias but why do I feel all announcers are against us lol.

 

[DB11Headband]

Damontes can't guard King

Damonte can’t guard anyone

 

[LostinNebraska]

Three straight touch fouls... C'mon.

 

[illini2002]

DMW not a D-1 player. Doesn't matter how good a defender he is (and I think it's overstated) if he literally gives you nothing on offense. The stats dont lie.

Wisconsin doesn’t think he can defend ..

 

[Illini_Jack]

Foul trouble is going to cost us this game

 

[Ramrod2010]

Stay up, watch the fake comeback, get mad, get hammered, call in sick.

Way ahead of you.

You're right, DMW has been a drive-thru tonight. But, he's our best wing defender, hustles his tail off, and has a "nose" for the ball. Have you watched a game all year? Tev hurt himself and I agree, he gone.

DMW was great with tough D and hustle, but since AG got hot these last 4 games he has shrunken as a factor on the court. We can't afford regression from him with his lack of O.

 

[JamesB]

Danger time

 

[Hopingfor500]

Wow... 3 dumb fouls by us... seriously... and maybe I’m bias but why do I feel all announcers are against us lol.

Because like the rest of us, you're pissed that we're losing and easily annoyed with everything. Lol.

 

[whatahack]

What's King's career high...you know he is going to break it tonight

 

[skyIdub]

Ummmm...news flash for all you DMW haters.....nobody can guard King right now.

Give it a rest.

 

[Steelyunk]

We’re a bit... discombobulated.

 

[westvilleillini]

Just came to post the exact same thing.

 

[bombayIllini]

They have 5 blocks

 

[uh_lion_eye]

If he's not playing defense, giving the effort, what do you want the coaches to do? When he does get into the game, he picks up a foul or is out of position one minute in. The time to "coach him up" was during the 8 games vs the cupcakes that he missed due to suspension. You see him potentially scoring 10 points, most others see him scoring 10, but giving up 16. To have Hamlin coming in before him...his practices must be rough. Real rough.

Another team player looking at having a career night against us.
