Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[Deleted member 747903]

Damonte has shot so few 3’s the last couple games I hope he doesn’t lose his stroke

Notice his feet were not set. He is so good when he has a wide open three with his feet set but anything else is probably an automatic miss

I just heard Jim Jackson say great defense on Kofi cockburn. Well one of the Wisconsin players had a hold of the back of his jersey trying to keep him from jumping and other guy was slapping his face in his arm. if there's not two standards of refereeing in this league for Kofi versus other players I might need to get better eye glasses. Wow!

Hard for Kofi to elevate when the other team has ahold of his jersey.

I like it when we push the pace, but we would have been better off Giorgi had pulled back and we'd gone into half-court mode there. We seemed gassed and out of rhythm

 

[skyIdub]

Giorgi trying to channel his inner Curbelo.

I thought whoever was guarding him got a piece of that ball

Poor last 3 minutes. The 3s aren't falling or we would be up big. great d so far.

 

[azillini1]

Need these 3’s to start dropping or go to the rim

 

[TX Illiniwek]

Is it just me, or does Kofi have shots blocked or the ball taken away from him waaaayyyy too much in the low post. I love him, but that seems like an area he really needs to work hard on if he wants to make it in the NBA.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

4 chances to get a 10 point lead and now it will turn into a 5 point game. We cannot pull away when we have the opportunity

 

[skyIdub]

Wtf DMFW??

 

[illinipimp]

Wtf was that Williams?

 

[Ramrod2010]

I don't like that call. Common foul sure, but that isn't a flagrant

 

[Illini_Jack]

Oh, Damonte got a Flagrant 1? Man, didn't see that comin'

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Williams is so infuriating. He should know better than that

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I don't like that call. Common foul, sure but that isn't a flagrant

He missed 2 so maybe you're right. Ball don't lie

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Would prefer if that was just a common foul, but as the rule is written it’s the right call. And either way it was dumb.

 

[LostinNebraska]

What a crock of poo.

 

[aaron2108]

Willams has obviously gotten himself a reputation. Probably would have been a common foul on anyone else.

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Every "star" player on other B10 teams get the benefit of calls. Not Ayo and Kofi.....at least that punk missed 2/3 on the flagrant. Thought he initiated the contact too.

 

[azillini1]

Yea, Kofi

 

[Cairo]

That's horse !!!!. Dude ran into Damonte.

 

[skyIdub]

Uh oh....Kofi with a foul line jumper? Unstoppable. NBA drafted.

 

[skyIdub]

Ummmm...why are we lobbing to...Trent Frazier??

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I would guess that if it had been called a common foul live it would have stayed that way. But on review they felt it was intentional enough to need to be something.
