1st half was not good and really need Brad to start calling a timeout in the 1st half when the offense is stagnating and settling for 3s. At least drive towards the basket and dish out if they're going to pack the paint and you'll get better looks than just lazily passing the ball around the perimeter until they launch a 3.

It was nice to see Goode play with some confidence and give some good minutes. Guerrier is fine when he's playing downhill but man is he overly confident in how far he can take off from.

Coleman has been hesitating a bit on offense and they could use him getting going and I Harmon is still just completely lost at the moment after giving good minutes as recently as Wisconsin. Id honestly like to see Brad try to call a few plays for Harmon in the 1st half to see if he can regain a bit of confidence.

I think the Illini matches up well here. There's a part of me that thinks Wisky expended a lot of energy in that game against PU. They could have tired legs for tomorrow. If the Illini can come out, be aggressive and defend, they'll cover the spread.

I know the same can be said for Illinois, but UW really did grind out a victory.

The benches of each team will also be important!

The good thing is that they played on Thursday and are playing 4 in 4 games. Can't tell you how many BTT final games I've seen a team run out of gas, lose their legs and shoot short in the second half of playing four games in four...including our Illini years ago.

We should be ready to go. I honestly wish we had a shot at Purdont but there's only one thing left to do....win the whole thing!

Picturing Brad with a sly wink of the eye at Sto$$, as he "struggles" going 1 for 17 from the field and 2 for 10 from the line. Leading to a very nice handshake and a "see you soon" after an Illinois win :)

Anyone know what the story is with the 3 or 4 bros sitting courtside? When they show them on TV, you can see them in the bottom right corner of the screen. I know one of them has been wearing a Mitch McGary jersey for a couple of the games. I don't have any qualms with those guys. I've just been entertained by seeing their reactions to different things. Certainly better than a certain Illini fan at SFC that I've mentioned on here before.

When is the last time we won the B1G tournament. Also beating Whisky for it is so fitting.
