Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan
- Status
I said before the game started if Ben got minutes and he'd plays his usual defense the Illini would win. He only has 6 minutes...so there you go.
Way to give up. Nice.
Sadly I don’t even know what Andrej’s role is on this team. He doesn’t have one major strength, not a good shooter, struggles in traffic and not a good defender. Insane amount of money for someone not producing.
Program just ain’t ready for thus
Wagler is very good no doubt, but whenever he has a very good/elite defender his height or taller who is long and athletic, he does not look like a lottery pick IMO. Can’t remember who guarded him against MSU, but it was the same thing.
Also, think about the Purdue game. He didn’t exactly have an athletic guy his height guarding him.
Great young player, but in the NBA he’ll have an athletic guy his height guarding him every night. His lack of quickness is going to be an issue at the next level. Buutttt, I could be wrong.

Morez has turned into a very good B1G warrior. That said, I do not want him in an Illini uniform if he agrees to a NIL contract and then grabs another. He has to live with that for the rest of his life as he has proved to not be a man of his word. Instead he is a Cheatgian Man which is the lowest of low.
Honestly, I think the worse thing to happen to Keaton was getting 46 at Purdue. Since then, he's been a focus of every other team. They are not going to let him beat them.
Agreed. Martinelli would have been the better option…
Brad says this team has more options this year. Let's be real against Average to above average teams that is the case against the elite teams (Michigan, Duke and Zona) for sure. We have 1 shot and that is elite shooting from 3
I think we have played pretty terribly
3-14 from 3
7 turnovers
Both very uncharacteristic
I’m wonder if this game will hurt our Kenpom offensive ranking.
To me effort has seemed fine but execution is poor
Lol classic
He is pretty good getting downhill but tough when a 7-5 guy is back there
I won’t hold my breath on AS. There’s a reason he’s still coming off the bench and got 5 mins in the first half. Tomi, I expect more from. Kylan, please stop shooting 3’s and drive every time and get to the line.
Would be a great time for our prized offseason acquisition to affect the game
I agree with you and Illinifinn. We aren’t playing well and getting exposed for our weaknesses again, but we can still win this game.
Will we make the adjustments needed is what willl tell.
Michigan is faster, stronger, more athletic and everything you want, but they have flaws and we can exploit them.

Their physicality is our biggest challenge.
Usually if a team has those stats against Michigan they're down 15-20pts.
We're only down 7.
