Week of 2/5 Games Thread

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Two things to celebrate:

Michigan with a meaningless win since their season is already tanked.

Wisconsin with the worse loss on the season and possibly over a number of years.

Hahahahahaha. Oops, I said that already.

Yeah. But still.

It’s like watching Jeffrey Dahmer eat Hitler.

Sky ties with 3, Louisville forgets to play defense

How bad is Louisville? I Googled the score of the game and it gave me tomorrow's scheduled women's game. I had to type men's basketball. *snort*

Sky ties with 3, Louisville forgets to play defense

At least he had 5 assists. That's just Barma coming back around for abandoning his team.

 

[Illini in Italy]

I see Wisky losing at least 2 more games, maybe as many as 4, depending on their mental state going forward.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Does anyone think Gard should be fired? Or that Wisconsin are frauds? Or that they have all these issues? Probably not. I hope with all of these ranked teams losing on the road this season we can realize we don’t need a nuclear meltdown each time we lose a game we should win lol.

Username checks out.

 

[illinifan1987]

Oof three game skid and now they’ve got to go to the RAC… can you imagine this board if this was us?

 

[Illiniam1984]

NW is shooting lights out as usual at home.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

This is why I wanted Wisconsin over Purdue…long game

I wanted Purdue over Wisconsin for the longest game: NCAA tournament seeding.

 

[zentrails]

NW is shooting lights out as usual at home.

and Nebby left Tominaga in Champaign

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

Thank you, Illinois Athletics, for not asking us to dress up for something as dumb as "Wild Wild Northwestern Night". I was wondering why the Kitty coaches were wearing green pants, but it must be somehow related?

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

NW is shooting lights out as usual at home.

6-10 from 3. On pace for 110 points.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Who wins the chuck fest? Boo hit one over Tominaga and berry hit a few too but Nebby showing a little life. Could be fun if both boo and Tominaga catch fire

Just about anyone can lose to anyone, especially on the road. Nationally, UConn and Purdue are the only elite teams.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Somehow, I'm not seeing Nebby upset NW tonight. A Nebby win would strengthen our position in the B1G as we have the tiebreaker in hand head to head with them?

 

[illinifan1987]

NW is shooting lights out as usual at home.

Buie with 10 points already. This may be another 30 burger for him.

This GIF's been getting a lot of use lately.

Pair it with the GIF of the inconsolable Phillips kid as NU loses. If both are equally appropriate this evening I'll enjoy pleasant slumber.

[EDIT: Just took my first look at the NU score. lol. DELETE.]

Definitely agree. Just missed opportunities, to be honest. Why can’t we seize them, going forward? I’m still hopeful as they keep presenting themselves.

Michigan, pleaseeee

AHHHHHHHHH IS THIS REAL LIFE

 

[pruman91]

Thanks wisky for choking at this point of the season...

I will never give scUM any thanks for anything ever as long as I am alive...
I really really won't...

 

[BBlock24]

Wisky on fraud watch? People are talking.

 

[BashCtIllini]

Am I the only one that things the Big Ten showing even more weakness is a bad thing? This is the worst Big Ten I can remember. I fully expect to be seeded a spot or 2 lower than we want because of the weakness of the conference.

 

[jumpingjack]

Nicholson is Mose Schrute on massive beet juice and HGH shakes.
Prove me wrong

 

[altgeld88]

Michigan, pleaseeee

My pre-Loyalty After Dark vote for the POTD.

 

[Se Il Illini]

Just another nugget. Mizzoo has not won a SEC game.

Oh, it's unusually weak this season and that's not good. I looked at Torvik today. Purdue is #2, we're mashed with Wisconsin and MSU in the teens, then the next B10 teams are NW and Neb in the upper 40s. Not exactly a year when eight teams will get in easily.
