Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Coaches all in cost and tie both sides. Assuming that’s for coach Moore. Classy.

 

[IlliniReb]

If Illinois loses this one, I won't be surprised. That was an emotional tribute for Howard Moore. It will give them some extra energy and something additional to play for. Very awful what him and his family had to deal with

Compartmentalize. I still hate.

 

[BDMAN]

Man, Kohl is packed!!

 

[illini510]

Compartmentalize. I still hate.

I hear you. Definitely not rooting for Wisky despite how much of a feel good story it might be. I remember when Howard Moore coached UIC earlier this century. I remembered what happened but didn't realize the state he was in today. It definitely brought some tears

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Kohl Center is lit for this one. Literally.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Cart was wondering if there was something that would give Wisky any kind of boost. They didn't know about this. I'm not sure I'll even be upset if Wisconsin gives an inspired effort and wins because they are playing for that guy.

Kohl Center is lit for this one. Literally.

Real shame we gotta ruin their day.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Starting lineups announced on the TV. I missed that. Thank U, Big Ten channel.

I think we see a healthy dose of old man booty ball today for MD. LET'S GO.

 

[ILLfated]

Hope damask shows out with some

 

[blackdog]

It's always interesting seeing other teams pregame intros. Ours is way better.

 

[skyIdub]

Domask is gonna wish he played football after this.

 

[KingWolf11]

As Colemans agent I am begging him to stop putting those 1 on 1s in the post on tape

 

[SuperMetroid]

Laphonso Ellis? So Hummel, Bardo, Schmack Guy were unavailable?

In case anyone need a back story. Tragedy for sure.

 

[Bigtex]

Shannon get out of the corner

 

[BBlock24]

Shooting touch ain’t there like it was the other day.

 

[madillini4]

Gotta get tsj more involved, obviously.

 

[abchew2]

QG wrist got hurt again?

 

[skyIdub]

Why are we so soft with/going after lose balls?? Good grief.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Not looking like we brought our best game today. Look sluggish out there

 

[LuckyIllini]

MD getting abused early.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not a stellar start. Have to figure out a way to win a game where we don't score 80+. Not controlling your defensive glass won't do it.

 

[stlrunner]

I hope we start rebounding soon.

 

[derrick6]

Give it time. This team looks a little out of rhythm but the matchups and opportunities are there
