Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[ivwilsoniv]

At this point, I am not even depressed. If it's going to happen, I'd rather Groce get fired for a blatant failure than the case be borderline. It would theoretically be easier to rehire in that case.

At least Illinois gets a good draft pick in this scenario... :thumb:

Was Thorne excused from the game to work on his dissertation??

 

[Cheez]

This team has quit

Looks that way, yep.

Illinois basketball should be where Wisconsin is perennially right now.

Also yep

Who is this Dakich impersonator doing the color?

 

[Thrasherx2k1]

At least the Hardee's $4 meal looks good!

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Look at the picks they set out high. Full contact pin your guy. Our picks don't even contact anyone.

Yep

 

[OBxpress]

poor coaching and no cofidence

 

[LurkLongandProsper]

If the boos haven't emerged in SFC, do we have guesses on when they begin? Really have to think the fanbase turns (in-stadium) tonight with the way this is looking early. Just so disappointing. I want to be able to watch games and enjoy them again.

It's uncanny how much he sounds like him.

The train wreck that is Illinois basketball gets worse every game.

Where are the Groce defenders now? Defend this.

16 points down with 10 to play in the first half - in a must win.

AT HOME!:tsk:

Jon Crispin

 

[Adnarel]

Where are the Groce defenders now?

Are there any left on this board? Serious question, as I've been away for a bit.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

About to break the 20 point barrier

 

[OrangeKrus28]

Who is this Dakich impersonator doing the color?

Jon Crispin. He sounds a lot like him despite being probably 20 yrs. younger lol

 

[GortTheRobot]

All I can think is that it will be so sweet when we are good again.

 

[Cheez]

Someone needs to coach these kids because Groce seemingly isnt.

What does the ladder call for in situations like this?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Who is this Dakich impersonator doing the color?

Wow, thought it was him.

 

[JoeJ]

The Groce defenders may need to escort him out

Do not even start the post game thread..no need to analyze the same pile of trash game after game. Just pin the coach search thread for the rest of the year. Groce is gone.

There are a couple calling for him to get another year in the coaching carousel thread...

 

[Deleted member 236589]

This is a bad basketball program right now. Not only do they get out coached on a nightly basis, but as each blowout loss comes and goes....The talent disparity is what depresses me most. This isn't a quick fix. When Hill leaves, this team is void of any legitimate Big Ten caliber playmakers. Just a bunch of roll players, at best.

 

[JudsonFTS]

Abrams 3 and a tjl steal.

There are Change Fearers, but no Groce Supporters of note.

Kipper with great position there. Overpowering trice.
