Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[fatlard]

Why are we jacking 3 when DD should be shooting 2s

 

[azillini1]

Excluding Dainja, we are 3 of 19 from the floor.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

These are the tallest 6th graders I’ve ever seen, but this has to be 6th grade basketball

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sure wish DD would spend as much time working on his FTs as he does doing his hair.

 

[FloridaMan]

Big Ten conference is brutal in every negative sense of the word

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

These are the tallest 6th graders I’ve ever seen, but this has to be 6th grade basketball

I played on a middle school team that scored more than this

 

[jumpingjack]

He's one of the better shooters on the team. 35% from 3 isn't terrible

His numbers across the board are better than Derek Harper, as freshmen.
I'm not trying to resurrect that idiotic argument, but I couldn't help it
And jebus, Dain has such a good offensive repertoire for a freshman big.

 

[Gunner23]

I wonder if they do colonoscopies on Saturday? I’m thinking I’d rather have one, than watch this garbage.

I have a broken 4x4 from the hurricane a few years ago if you can't find a Saturday opening...

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Baylor transfers with 16 of our 18 points

 

[Gunner23]

Can add RJ to the list and really anyone. But Epps has been terrible.

What???

 

[GallopingGhost]

Here we go! A 4-pt lead feels like 20

 

[NASchamp]

I like headband Matthew . Maybe the mullet is coming back and will be in full force by March!

 

[Bigtex]

Haven’t looked at box score but I think
Epps 4
Mayer 8
Dain 8

 

[CDRUSN]

Both teams look like they're on a construction site putting up a four bedroom brick home. With a brick fireplace. Maybe a brick barbecue on the patio and a brick outhouse for good measure.

 

[jumpingjack]

Mr Epps has a lethal hesi.

 

[bergd91]

The basketball was Frozen before game tip off.
That's all I got folks, yuck

 

[GallopingGhost]

Why are we jacking 3 when DD should be shooting 2s

They are really trying to get it into him.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Anyone place a bet 5 min. ago that the Illini would lead at the half? If I had only a nickel in my pocket I sure would not have.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Here we go! A 4-pt lead feels like 20

4 points may be insurmountable.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

The least enjoyable half of basketball I’ve seen all season. B10 basketball style of play is awful to watch.

 

[fatlard]

Man… I remember the days of Plummer driving like what Epps did… he would have been blocked every time….

I miss Plummer
Good job epps

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Great half. Burn the tapes.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I thought we looked outstanding, the last 90 seconds.

 

[New Creation]

First to 40 wins.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

20-16 at the end of the first quarter.
