Week of 2/16 Games Thread

[Iamgroot]

I have no idea how we contain Yaxel or match Morez’s intensity down low. We’ll find out in a week.

It's going to have to be a team effort which fits the illini bill if our guards can get a rebound more then there average or even .5 of there average more I think that can be the difference also were going to have to make some shots thats obvious. Michigan guards have shown throughout the season they can be sped up into turnovers and bad decisions I really hope crocket and Brad can create a plan to speed there guards up to create a change of pace cause if we let them they will pound us down low and get us into foul trouble

We should get some great film from this game...averaging 90.4 and only 33 at half...fouls are hurting them...

So, where was that vaunted Phog crowd I was hearing so much about a couple weeks ago? Sounded pretty dead in the the last 5 minutes.

Showed some of them leaving. It was loud outside!

UConn wins at Villanova to stay in 2nd in the Big East.

 

[Jimbo]

Don’t be scared of those pansies. They should be asking how they’re going to contain our size on the glass and how they're going to guard multiple threats on offense. They have no chance.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That was an amazing dunk by Morez. Call it like I see it

Oh right, Dame Sarr went to Duke. Totally forgot about him.

Dame who idkwti

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Oh right, Dame Sarr went to Duke. Totally forgot about him.

Think about how much more money Dame is getting than Jake Davis and who you'd rather have lol. Feels like we dodged a bullet.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Come back in like 2.5 hours, but neither of these teams are scary.

My bad if anyone else already posted this...

Minnesota's Jaylen Crocker-Johnson is sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury. Medved said it's unlikely he'll recover in time to play again this season as the team prefers to be cautious with his injury.

If I'm understanding this correctly, our best path to the Midwest bracket if Michigan stays a 1 seed, is Iowa State passing them?

 

[jamarvelous31]

It's wild that everyone on the court literally stopped playing because everyone on the court saw the Duke foul... no call and UM gets an open shot because the D started moving towards the free throw line

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Duke beats Michigan 70-63.

No

 

[ChiTown]

Michigan’s stint as #1.

 

[CentralILLini]

Unbelievable

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Pretty bad Iowa state showing without Saunders against a team that hasn’t beaten a top 25 Kenpom team all year even with him

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

ISU beats BYU. Dybantsa’s awesome.

 

[Lysol623]

ISU beats BYU. Dybantsa’s awesome.

Other way around.

 

[azillini1]

It looks like Michigan easily wins the BIG title with our loss tonight. At least 5 teams now fighting to end up in the top 4 in the conference.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This got called a foil on OSU. Teng pushes him into Carr though:

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Fears flop:

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Osu is awful. Thornton’s phenomenal. Give or take.

 

[FloridaMan]

Fears walks and hits a jumper in the lane, no call. Why does the B10 protect this chump?
