Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[LGIllini]

A 7 point lead has never left this bad

 

[FloridaMan]

Can't play much better D than KB just did. Great job, refs

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Some weak as hell fouls being called

 

[Illiniam1984]

Did you see the line ups BU is putting out there? Is Jake Davis and Humrichous magically going to start playing defense and hit outside shots?

Yes but….

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

And 1!!!

KJ is lethal!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

KJ.

 

[illiniguy24]

Great job by Ben there to create that space for KJ (see I am fair)

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

-5 against NWU (The only player who was a + was Morez at +3. Boswell was -8, btw...)
He's +4 tonight

 

[LoveLovie]

Wooooohooo KJ

[SuperMetroid]

KJ!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh my lord, KJ.... just wow

 

[JJE]

Everyone needs to chill, this team is STILL young and figuring out how to win. If we look like this in February then we can freak out.

 

[WyattEarp]

Ben and Kaspar are opposite Big T
…they leave their feet too much… get hung up the air quite a bit.

 

[NarrowJ]

Speaking of Nuggets KJ has quite the set of them!!

Honestly, looked like an illegal screen that Hummer set to me. But most of the screens look illegal to me anymore. (I started officiating games this year)

 

[NarrowJ]

Wait, the officials told a fan to be quiet?

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

These last 5 minutes are going to last an eternity

Stranger things have happened.

 

[DeeIL89]

Ben got to be better at rebounding. Use that 6'9 frame, maaan.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Maybe I'm wrong for this since he hasn't played well... but how has Ben been any different? Like, Humrichous looking absolutely terrible at times getting the clutch-time minutes over our 5 star and projected 1st round pick?

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Wait, the officials told a fan to be quiet?

apparently at least they aren't officiating with their egos tonight

 

[LeinieGuy]

Doesn't WI have 7 team fouls??

I think he did a great job making it look like he was just trying to naturally move and “got in the way”

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

danger zone here....
