Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[Second place is 1st loser]

But none on WI this half so far? Did I see that right? jeesh
So much for home cooking

We have to play aggressively on the offensive end to get whistles. It's going to be a chore, given the way we play, to really beat teams at the line.

These refs are a joke

[Mr. Roberts]

WI in the bonus at 14:42. Uh-oh.

 

[New Creation]

wow, 7 fouls already with 14:42 left to go

 

[LoveLovie]

Gonna be hard to win with free throws the rest of the game…

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Hey guys....stop fouling, please

 

[foby]

I got a new whistle

 

[FloridaMan]

Clown show has arrived!

 

[NASchamp]

And the refs have made this game about them now

 

[derrick6]

Happy Hum hit the 3 but he needs to be on the bench. Only the fouls saved a poor decision by Brad keeping him in

 

[illiniguy24]

I’m sorry, Ben is awful at this point and time

 

[NarrowJ]

Bonus with 15 minutes left wow

Not good, Wisconsin is the #1 free throw shooting team in the nation at 86%

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Ben just can't do the basics on the defensive end or when the ball is coming off the rim.

 

[Jon]

I kinda wanted Ben to get in foul trouble but i didn't know Brad was going to go to Jake

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This is going to be a huge issue as we move forward. The nights we don't shoot well, we don't have an alternative means for points.

 

[Peteronthespot]

We make the same mental mistakes year after year.

 

[DevILLDawg]

Hide Ben at the end of the bench!!!

 

[New Creation]

Boswell entering Beast Mode right now. .. and is Booth done for the year?

 

[WyattEarp]

Much better team defense on that possession.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great effort, KJ

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I’m generally against this conspiracy theory, but … I’ll wait for the stats of how many times we’ve shot fewer FTs at home.

 

[jacekpardol]

Brads gonna play Ben 39 mins again eh?

 

[derrick6]

And the refs have made this game about them now

THE ref.

between peacock and the refs, this game is tedious.
