Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[oldschool51]

I will always root for Kipper but he has a very low basketball IQ

 

[IlliniNation1010]

Kipper to the bench!

 

[Fr8trn16]

We're playing the freaking refs! And Wisconsin! Smh

Jesus kipper

Dumb foul. Dumb turnover.

 

[Halloweenie]

Too many minutes required of Kipper. His mind can't handle it

 

[aaron2108]

Can we just take kipper out? 3 plays in a row on his hands... ohh wait there he goes...

 

[Kingsnake22]

Talk about imploding lol anybody notice we don’t actually make contact on screens?

Dude. These are fouls.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Josh with a disgusted look.

 

[Fr8trn16]

Great, less size and offense

 

[618Illini618]

This team greatly lacks a closer

If IQ could be negative...

 

[skyIdub]

We're gonna need Kofi for a full 4-5 to end it if we're gonna have a chance.

Fouls are 20-14. And we’ve committed a few dumb ones. They’re also shooting 84% on free throws to our 60

 

[IlliniNation1010]

Damn FT's going to cost us

 

[Hopingfor500]

This team greatly lacks a closer

Agreed. Teams that lose close games, especially on the road... immediately makes me think of poor guard play. That's generally where the issues begin and end, especially late.

 

[skyIdub]

Trent's gotta launch that....

 

[Steelyunk]

For all the fouling we’re doing missed layups and free throws could be what cost us.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Exactly. If we also shoot 80%......

This is one of the worst broadcasts I have watched in a while. The commentators have been bad and pro-Wisconsin all night, refs are bad but not unreasonably so, and the graphic just showed some random "-999" stat for foul trouble. Frustrating game to watch.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Yes. Agreed. The refs, you can't control. Layups and free throws is 100% focus and is controllable and is the difference.

 

[LJ22]

1. Defense looks much improved.
2. Beating them in the paint is a good sign.
3. We should never miss a free throw. Literally, zero times. There is no excuse.

 

[IllinoisFanAtFSU]

Also, Davison is a punk and I want Illinois to beat him before he graduates so badly.

 

[illini2002]

Are we less than 50% from the FT LINE?

 

[Illinidpm]

We can’t go 1 of 2 at ft line !! Everytime
