Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[HailtotheChief]

Ben is playing hard. 15 minutes 0 shots but 4 boards, 2 offensive and his only turn over was when he got tackled. Ben played solid D and doesnt force things. Boz, Tomi and Z forced a few of those 3s.

 

[Mambo]

big half from Tomi coming!

 

[Weatherspoon1]

If Tomi isn't hitting 3s, I'd play Z. Give me Boz, Wagler, Andrej, Mirk and Z.

I thought Brad did a good job getting Boswell a few minutes in that half without letting him pick up his third foul. Hopefully a big half coming.

Where is the MF'ing rebounding?

 

[IlliniKat91]

REBOUND (because I can't scream that in my office)

 

[blife]

Get the F&cking board

 

[Miles Leonard]

Gotta rebound, guys

 

[Chillinini]

Lack of rebounding is horrendous

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I do not like all these wide open three looks for Wisconsin after half

 

[cs04]

argggh cannot give up so many offensive boards !

 

[thehass]

Tomi has not contributed anything yet. Why is he playing?

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

Wagler needs to look for the three more

 

[ejam21]

soft af foul call on jake gtfo

 

[TheGMan]

Sometimes the ball just bounces directly to the other team

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

Davis didn't touch him, BS call.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

ref desperate to keep it close

 

[FloridaMan]

Time to get Z in and Jake out now. Cannot live with Jake's lack of D today.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Complete phantom foul call

 

[OskieWowWow]

What is with Davis over Stoj!!!!! The matchup is clear

 

[EmpoweredIllini]

there we go tomi

 

[Julie Meinart]

Jake rebounds?? I'm glad but where are the bigs?? Wis had 4 TRIES BECAUSE WE SUCK AT REBOUNDING!! NO EXCUSE

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go, Tomi. Finally

 

[JJE]

Major props to Bam avoiding his 3rd foul this long.

My biggest sports wish for 2026 is that the Big Ten finally does something about our absolutely booty officiating. We're a laughingstock on that front.
