I do like Kohl, think it's a good place to watch a game, but I couldn't call it special. Might be simply geographic for me, like you going to games at Maryland. I'm in McHenry County so getting to Madison is quicker than getting to Champaign for me. But I have enjoyed myself when I've gone.

Conference tournaments are so wild to me. We spend a half the year circling games that are life and death. Like we’re at Purdue in three weeks. That’s going to be tough. Or I can’t wait for Michigan next month. I wish we played them tomorrow. And then all of a sudden it’s like oh we could play them both in the next 48 hours? Or maybe Michigan St? I don’t know. First we have to get revenge against Wisconsin which is also within that 48 hours window. It’s bonkers.

If we cannot stop their guards it could be curtains. We have had tremendous difficulty stopping any opposing guards lately. I hope that changes starting today.

Big key to this game. Look for Wisky to force BAM and Wagler to guard drives early in hopes of getting them in foul trouble. Huge question to be answered is we can hold them to a subpar game for 40 min. If they score 50 again, I do not expect an Illini victory for the Illin varsity. May need to play both Ivisics together to force our advantage at the rim and rebounding.

For this game, I would like to see a strong defensive performance more than anything else

Well it's Friday the 13th. That could only mean this is Wisconsin's unlucky day. Go Illini!

Do we dare throw some zone at them in the first half if BAM or KW pick up a quick one(s)?

I hope they expect Wisconsin to play with emotion and urgency. They're trying to improve their seed, so I expect them to give us everything they have.

Wisconsin made 16 trey's against us the first game and 15 yesterday against WA. Very worried about their kick out 3's and our inability to contain their fast guards. We need Tommi and Andre to step up. We didn't have Boz or Andre in the first game. So, lets show up Boyz. Go Illini
