Week of 2/26 Games Thread

[OrangeBlue98]

1:31 left, BYU leads Kansas 71-66.

The craziness may very well continue.

 

[Hoopster]

Down goes Kansas!

 

[illinifan1987]

They have been horrible for a month and have not really responded at all. We should be the ones out for blood

 

[IceWater11]

Bet my buddy $200 in October that Illinois would finish higher than the badgers in the big ten. He’s in shambles right now.

My buddy and I have a 1k bet for conference record. Started last year. Lasts a decade. About to be 2k up 2 years in

 

[illinifan1987]

At least Kansas came in with their weekly choke

 

[fatboyslim]

Down goes Kansas!

They are over-ranked. How in the world are they ranked where they are at with their losses.

 

[CV Illini]

Bucky will be out for blood on Saturday.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Down goes Kansas!

They're a completely different (worse) team without McCullar Jr.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

KU goes down. BYU wins 76-68 at Phog Allen.

 

[BillyBob1]

That’s 2 KU losses I didn’t see because of ESPN+.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Bucky will be out for blood on Saturday.

Ugh just our luck

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Bucky will be out for blood on Saturday.

They've lost 6 of 8. This is the time they'll be hungry for a win? No, the reality is they they're average. No more, no less.

 

[abchew2]

Eh you could argue Wisconsin would be out for blood regardless if they won as they would have only been 1 game back from us. I don’t think them losing changes the fact they have been mediocre for over a month now.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

How far is Wisconsin falling in their seeding? Talk about an absolutely horrific February.

ESPN does a horrible job covering college basketball as a whole. They have good games but they don’t use their channel well

The Big ten did well expect for this year and peacock. I have pretty good idea which players are good and how they play. The SEC and Big 12 half don’t seem to get same coverage

 

[zentrails]

Pitino thought no.

WI is losing too much for the talent they have, must be a reason for that.

 

[ginabackes00]

It has to be because their coach doesn't play enough zone defense.

 

[foby]

Kentucky can win it all or lose in the first round

A lot of teams like that this year. Including us.

 

[zentrails]

Sure, make me spit out my drink. LOL

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Yes. And here’s hoping we do it again on Saturday.

 

[IlliniShelt]

Iowa likely going to hold Penn State to 60pts lol

This didn't age well

You must not be aware of the "Illini luck". There are game changers...then there are rule changers. We happen to fall into the latter. Please don't

 

[Shockey19]

Don’t know if anybody was watching that Colorado State v Nevada game, but what a crazy ending. Feels like it’s already March

I didn't but my friends told me about it. 90% free throw shooter misses 3 of last 4... Only to make a 44ft 3 point shot to win it.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Hunter Dickinson brings some of that Michigan choke over to Lawrence with him. Six missed foul shots in a row down the stretch.
