Illinois 79, Wisconsin 69 Postgame
As usual, if the Vegas line looks insane and an easy easy win for betters, it's a sucker's bet. They seemingly are never wrong with that. I have no idea how they knew we'd come out and play like we did today, but they did.
Great win! Glad to see the guys playing hard. Plus S Harris was dynamic on def.
Playing like a team on offense cures a lot, Including bad shots. Making the right pass leads to the open shot which leads to making shots which cures a lot.
Nice resume win. This team has the signature wins. Now we need to be consistent
It’s obvious after today the key to playing well and having success is to only play ranked teams. !!
Days like today are what keeps me coming back to the Illini. Great response by the bball team and Elzy commit/Adams/Slaughter returning for fball. Good day.

Remember that time we beat #2 Texas and were headed to the final four?
Team played absolutely phenomenal today. Great energy, great effort, great teamwork. We can win a ton of games when we play like this. We just need to bring it every single game. Get that professional mindset, and we'll look like a professional team. Great win today.
As bad as the offense was against NW was as good as it was today. Player movement, ball movement, open shots we hit. Unselfishness. As Brads been saying “flow”.
Kudos to the staff and the team. Let this be a spring board. Next 3 are huge.

Glad the team showed up. A lot of good things to take away today. Go Illini.
Good win.
High ceiling, low floor team. I liked what I saw out of the offense more this game. Some high pick and roll, some handoffs, some back cuts... give these guys a bit of a direction.
I almost think the schedule is irrelevant for this team... we can lose to any team by 20, we can beat any team by 20. I just want consistency.
I really do think this whole team thought they were hot sh*t after the first few games, they have had they're crown knocked off and now its a road back for Brad getting these guys to fully buy in again. We are very very talented, and I'm holding out hope that the whole group, Brad included can improve as the season progresses.
On to the next.

I’ll thank Myself and all the other followers who decided not to watch the game today in superstitious hopes that the team always does better when you don’t watch
Good win, now let's go beat the Huskers and pack the place Friday night vs Sparty.
Again I ask, does any other team in the country have 3 (or more) top 15 wins?
The correlation is irrefutable
