I’m very 50/50 on who wins this game. I think if we can play at our pace, get on transition, and Wisconsin doesn’t make ever mother-living shot they take, we can win this by 5+.
If Wisconsin slows us down to play at their pace, especially in the half court, I think they win.
A win would be nice to solidify a 4/5 seed and give possibility for a 3 seed, but a loss doesn’t kick us down that much. Maybe makes us a more convincing 5 until we get more Q1 wins

We will hate them by the end of the game.
If we're losing, we hate them and if we're winning, there's no mention. Have you been around these parts long?
I wrote about three paragraphs of what you summed up in one sentence. Three games, three different styles with our guards and defense being challenged in different ways, each game.

Have a feeling it’s going to be a great day to be an Illini fan in Milwaukee.
73-51
This is the game our defense shows up.

I'm not as concerned with if we win or not(of course I want us to win). Winning road games is tough. it's how we play and how it's approached.
We'll be facing a style of play that we'll see in the tournament.
It'll be a half court game, we'll have to work for shots, we'll have to defend in the half court meaning we simply can't have our guards getting blown by, which creates all types of issues and we have to guard the three point line.
This won't be a game where it'll be a track meet. This game could be played in the 70's, so if we are up....we have to finish the game off.
If we shoot 30+ threes... we're being stagnant and we get into trouble.
This type of game will set the time for my expectations a few weeks from now.

So we are going to start playing through screens instead of switching?

Whelp someone is cutting onions in my place.
We’ve done that the last 2 games
Well, if you though the Penn State gym gimmick gave them a unique boost…
I’d imagine every badger is standing over there inspired to honor the uniform and that man.
Hell, I don’t even hate them right now.

Yeah, Bucky Badger will be fired up for sure now. Heck Deon even had tears in his eyes.
Win this one and keep the heat on Purdue. Come out hard and play the full 40. Let's go!
