Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[Homecoming 2019]

is anyone talking to eachother?

Tomi with no points, rebounds, or defense. Don't know where his head is, but it's definitely not in this game. Leave Z out there, at least he came to play and is giving us quality minutes.

 

[SweetLuh]

Do they understand what a travel is!? My god, missed 3 at least!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Gotta communicate there guys. Can't allow that turnover or the offensive rebound

 

[TheGMan]

If we lose, blame it on me - I just texted someone "Stoj has it going today, it's done"

Look what you did!

After we got the 15 pt lead, this game turned ugly fast

 

[Mistakenj]

This Illinois team is trending in the wrong direction

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Lack of communication is killing the defense right now. You had two guys dive inside and let that open three happen. It missed, but led to the offensive rebound.

I know they keep shooting threes no matter what, but c’mon. If your opponent is making a run, slow down a bit and run the offense inside. Utilize AS, Mirk and the Ivisics inside.

Brad is too stubborn to coach like that.

 

[From the cheap seats]

Three or four times we get rebound position…and then give up an offensive rebound.

Refs in favor of Illinois so far. That was a bad call on Rhode.

 

[EmpoweredIllini]

we are lucky they cant buy a three 5-21

 

[Dragons89]

We look more tired than Wisconsin and they played yesterday. Maybe this hard of a half really kills Wisconsins legs in the second half.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Jesus…just be within 4 at the half…

 

[FloridaMan]

How's that a foul on Ben? Total anticipation. Jr high reffing at best.

Edit: see they called on AS.

 

[HailtotheChief]

How is that a foul on Ben??

 

[cs04]

good foul there, no and-1

 

[iillini67]

Travel never called anymore

Doubtful

To play Tomi instead of Z is criminal! The staff needs to wake up!

Problem is Z can play about 25min max before strength and conditioning gets him from what we've seen. We need 15min at least from Tomi but they need to be much much better minutes than we've seen thus far

 

[Julie Meinart]

3 Ill guys under the basket but none going for the rebound. Sickening. They don't deserve a 2 seed at this point

 

[New Creation]

That’s all Andre needs to do. Drive the ball.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Freshmen brain Wagler there. Get a better look man.

 

[FoundersClub]

Mid range Wagler > Wagler attacking the hoop

 

[FloridaMan]

Play smart and we are up 15. 12-0 run and we did nothing to try to turn it around except fire threes and hope. Just not a smart team with a lead to say the least.
