Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[thehass]

How ugly yet we are up by 11. I expect a different second half.

 

[MiloMinderbender]

Gotta take that steal at the end to the hoop. Had numbers and time.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

That would have been one hell of a sequence If that 3 had fallen for Belo.

 

[Retro62]

Curbelo just made up for a few in the last minute

 

[LostinNebraska]

Excellent close to the half. If Belo dropped that 3, good night Gracie... But still, love it.

 

[DReq]

They even showed the definition and it exactly described what Davison did. Dakich is a lunatic.

 

[FromTheLogo]

So wish Belo would have drained that!!!

 

[LoveLovie]

All this without 20+ points of production in Ayo

 

[LostinNebraska]

What are they looking at? Kofi got the rebound and Davidson grabbed onto his arm like a small boy wanting his dad not to leave home for work.

 

[Keisersose]

I like Dakish. But he’s never been more wrong,

well except that time he said “this won’t end well for Illinois” when Ayo had the ball.

 

[Dre]

Free throws..... Turnovers.... We're playing against ourselves. CLEAN IT UP!

 

[Cairo]

“What is Davison supposed to do?” Idk, maybe go for the ball and not hang on a dudes freaking arm? I can’t stand Dakich or the dude with the glasses whose name escapes me.

I thought DD was pretty good up until that point. Feel like he just didn't want to admit he got it wrong post replay.
Guy makes me laugh mostly. He loves his own voice.

 

[Retro62]

Clearly locked in his arm. Tough spot and a weak looking flagrant given size different, but it was textbook

I agree with you, it looks weak, but that’s only because Davison could not pull him down to the deck...someone else he would have and that’s why it was the right call as you say.

Take my advice and turn on the Illini Radio feed. You'll sleep better tonight.

I think Dakich is fantastic. People may not like what he has to say, but he's refreshingly honest.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Pleasantly surprised that we can have so many TO's and be up 11. Defense has been pretty good.

Defense has been good inside....but Wisky has chucked a plethora of wide open 3s for bricks....resulting in a handful or more of long, lucky off. boards for them.

 

[Dre]

How the heck do the crazy commentators not understand a hook and hold?

 

[Hair Like Keene]

Not sure if Curbelo should be leading us in shots taken, but he is working hard

 

[MiloMinderbender]

As a Sox fan, I'm a little sad that Benetti agreed with Dakich on the hook and hold there.

 

[illinitiger]

We have 20 FG attempts vs Wisky 37. Amazing difference given 11 pt lead at half. 4/5 3p and 65% shooting helps.
How about the scoring machine Damonte leading with 10.

 

[FromTheLogo]

This just in: Izzo agreed with Dakich's take.

In which direction?

 

[Dre]

Where is Trent today?

 

[Loyalillini10]

I was yelling at my TV, “what the hell are you two not seeing?!?!” It was an obvious foul. I am still baffled.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Where is Trent today?

Holding Trice to 4 points
