Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[hoopsfan47]

Hope our guys remember the UCLA game...no lead is safe against a team that can shoot threes. Gotta defend more than the first two minutes.

Thank you!!!!

Damn a couple of good looks there for jake that woulda been huge.

Loved what Andre was doing. Get him back in. Ben is really getting after it on D. Tough goal tend and foul call there.

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Get it back to AS! Wisky can’t run in transition.

 

[TrahNeb]

Seems like we always let up a bit when things are really flowing. So frustrating.

Why is AS out of the game? Not every shot has to be a three' Take it to the basket.

 

[BWBW]

Let's slow down and run our offense.

 

[ejam21]

Rats. Let them back in with a 7-0 answer.

Took too many 3s when everyone was gassed. Still love the effort.

to be fair, 2 of those were wide open jake davis 3s......almost never a bad shot IMO

I'm pretty certain this is meant to mean there are no surprises from what was already known.

I'm sure it is. Just worded funny.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Huge missed call with the foul when ben got knocked down.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Tomi gives us NOTHING…

 

[CDRUSN]

At this point in the season, Z has proven himself to be a far better rebounder, defender, rim protector, scorer down low, and scorer from 3 than his twin brother T, and it's not even that close. I hope the coaches see that and give most of the minutes, with T coming in to relieve him.

We cannot afford to give up these runs. How many double digit leads have we given up this year? FIX IT!

 

[wpr]

He is their best rebounder so him being out will help

Yes it will.

 

[hoopsfan47]

NOt a surprising 8 pt. lead as we are shooting 55 and 40 while they are at 38 and 27. We have doubled up the rebounds 16-8 at the timeout.

 

[Jimbo]

Don’t fall in love with the three.

 

[illinifanclassof17]

Tomi mannnnnn :'(

 

[LuckyIllini]

Z>Tomi

 

[illiniguy24]

Keep getting to the rim, don’t settle (unless you’re Keaton)

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

It should’ve been a foul on Davis as well on the Boyd 3.

 

[wc_illini]

Refs can't decide what they're doing today. Either call it tight or let them play (within reason), but don't go back and forth

 

[FloridaMan]

They have no answer for us down low and we just continue to fire up three after three. Really maddening.

 

[nyc_illini]

Tomi is so deep in a serious slump

I mean it's Jake with wide open threes in rhythm. He has to shoot those.

Needed a timeout after the Blackwell 3. Nope we’ll hold it. Needed fresh legs and Bam can’t play defense with 2 fouls.
