Week of 2/10 Games & News Thread

[BBlock24]

Wisky is playing some good ball.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Purdue by far the most flopping team I've seen play this year.

 

[illinifan1987]

I just heard an interesting factoid during the Wisky game. They're 5-43 all time at Mackey, with 4 of those coming after 2005!
My bad...soon to be 6-43

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Wisconsin up 8 at Purdue...about time for the whistle blowers to correct that

They probably figured they had done enough in the first half with that flagrant 2 ejection.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Just going to make our win over Wisconsin look better on Tuesday.

Can't imagine how fired up Wisconsin crowd will be after how many times we've beat them in a row, Domask trolling them after we beat them last year, and them coming off this win over Purdue.

 

[FromTheLogo]

Wisky still up 10.. 6:24 left. Tonje looks incredible at times.

 

[kyillinifan]

Can’t believe that Wisc is getting the calls for them 2nd half. We would never get those calls on the road.

Wisconsin toughness > Purdon't flopping. Wisco got more options offensively than Purdon't. Blackwell owning BS down the stretch.

 

[TheodoreRex]

I watch every Big Ten game through the lens of how it affects Illinois. Would it be better if Wisconsin was coming off a win or loss?

To me, we've already beat Wisconsin, so I'm going to root for them as it will continue to make that win look good. Plus it makes our game at Wisconsin even bigger.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

It makes me happy seeing Hoggard still putting up bricks.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Wisconsin toughness > Purdon't flopping. Wisco got more options offensively than Purdon't. Blackwell owning BS down the stretch.

For the ones old enough like me to remember Blackwell's dad, this makes me very happy when it doesn't happen vs us

 

[SeattleSlim]

Raftery with the Happy Gilmore take.

 

[chief]

Braden Smith and Kaufman Renn 1st team all Big 10 according to Robbie.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

And Wisconsin wins it. Back to back losses for Purdue, they fall to 4 losses in B10.

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

I'm trying something new today. I bet heavy on Auburn trying to ease my pain if they win.

We'll see how it goes. I still find myself randomly flipping off the TV screen when they show Bruce Pearl.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Washington lucky that wasn't called a foul on the 3.... would've helped had they given Coleman the same whistle...

 

[Piotyr]

Wisconsin shot 20 for 22 from 2 point range for their game today at Purdue.

So...just don't let them do that next week.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Wisconsin shot 20 for 22 from 2 point range for their game today at Purdue.

So...just don't let them do that next week.

Purdue lane defense was awful, but my goodness.

 

[biglug58]

Klesmit was magnificent…..need to keep him under wraps.

 

[battle]

Seton Hall misses dunk which bounces 20+ feet, gets a 3 to send to OT

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

So this damn Alabama-Auburn 1-2 basketball game must be what the country feels like when Illinois-penn state meet up in a 1-2 game coming soon

 

[KBLEE]

Seaton Hall knocks off the Fighting Hurleys

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Wow, UConn totally choked there. What a come back by Seton Hall!

 

[BashCtIllini]

Alabama's game plan seems to be, go full speed at the hoop. They don't seem to realize it is hard to make layups going out of control fast.
