Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[FoundersClub]

Hate to say it but I do not want the ball in Waglers hands in that situation.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Damn keaton hit it. Ok OT. Fts killed that...our misses and thier damn bs call for Badgers

 

[cs04]

dammit another effing overtime game

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Another OT game. 2 front ends. On the line on a 3. Horrid officiating.

Credit to Wisconsin, they made all 18 free throws they were gifted.

 

[BashCtIllini]

So overtime, we meet again

 

[rdk573]

3 previous OTs, 3 previous losses..You tell me what is going to happen..

 

[FloridaMan]

Can we please try to get to the rim and rebound in the OT?!!! Please? Not feeling great given our history in these games this year. Totally blew a chance to blow this team out and the refs have reached a new low today.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Our struggles in all of our close losses has been the inability to grab the defensive rebound in the clutch.

OT

that always ends so well

 

[New Creation]

Can we win an OT game or not?
Davis missed free throws loomed large. He makes his 2 and we win.

 

[NASchamp]

That’s where you go fast and try to get two possessions for one. We hold and get nothing and they get the last shot.

Bad coaching. Bad execution.

 

[thehass]

That last shot by Wisky is something we would have drawn up.

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

We've all seen this movie before.

 

[March2TheArch]

Brad sucks at Xs and Os.

Why tf did we not trigger a 10 sec play?!

 

[KingWolf11]

I understand Keaton is a lottery pick.

Give me Andrej in an iso needing one shot with the flow of this game

 

[KBLEE]

We got the rebound with 2 seconds on the clock. Why not immediately call a timeout and set something up?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Typical postseason Brad...well done being up 15, Twice

 

[Juju]

We HAVE to be due for an OT win, right? RIGHT???

 

[Sim]

I have watched basketball for a lot of years and this has got to be one of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen. This is pathetic.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Wisconsin out-offensive rebounding us for two consecutive games is unacceptable I’m sorry. We’ve proven we can be better.

 

[NASchamp]

If we lose another overtime game, I'm going to lose my mind.

Get ready…..

Because we’re in deep foul trouble and playing like garbage.

 

[skyIdub]

I hate this game. I hate B1G officials. I hate sushi. I hate left lane campers. I hate scUM. I hate Indinia. I hate Iowa. I hate math.

 

[altgeld88]

What is it with us blowing 2H double-digit leads?

I know. Rhetorical question.

 

[LuckyIllini]

We got the rebound with 2 seconds on the clock. Why not immediately call a timeout and set something up?

Brad Underwood is immune from calling a timeout.

 

[FloridaMan]

Tied in rebounds. Inexcusable against this team.

 

[hoopsfan47]

There is no question that the Illini are fighting an uphill battle per breaks and calls. Now is the time to reach deep and win on will and smarts. Sadly, we have made too many unsmart plays and Wisky has not paid the price for their flopping.
