Week of 2/9 Games Thread

[Jimbo]

Good half.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

With all due respect, BS. As a Bulls fan of the late 80's and early 90's, I couldn't stand Dennis Rodman. However, I couldn't get enough of him when he played with us. If we had Fears, we'd be defending him to no end.

I want to watch some of St louis vs Loyola tonight since we’re obviously going to be playing them in the 2nd round in St Louis.

St. Louis has that Loyola feel, no thanks on playing them.

 

[Da88]

It still burns me that we lost to this MSU team. They are frequently behind 15 plus in games.

 

[fuggles]

MSU #4 defense on KP. Wisconsin 1.6 ppp in the first half. ouch.

 

[DeeIL89]

Cheering for Wisconsin to hand Spartans what will be their 4th in conference lost. I think 17-3 at minimum can still win the conference. We just have to win all out the rest of the way.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

Funny watching Fears ask for the push off on Boyd. Had a legit case there but Fears getting a taste of that

 

[Jimbo]

Carr can dunk.

It would be the most Illini draw ever.

 

[Rebounding Dog]

Carr can dunk.

Jumps out of the gym!!!

 

[Altuve27]

What I’m getting from this game is that we had EVERY opportunity to beat a very good team despite missing two starters.

Frustrating as hell? 100%. It’s also a sign that when this team gets healthy they have been, and are going to continue to be, a problem.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Nick Boyd is an ethical Jeremy Fears

that can shoot lol

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

is it safe to admit here that Boyd is amazing to watch when he’s on? Dude is a walking bucket and big time competitor.

 

[Rap47]

He isn't because he can shoot and isn't dirty No comparisonn

I'd also add I think it was about as two of the worst three starters you could be missing against that particular team.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

The dude just gets total nonsense. WHY DO THEY GIVE HIM THESE CALLS

 

[UCantHideYer]

Fears….i just don’t understand his ownership over the refs

 

[Illini09]

The dude just gets total nonsense. WHY DO THEY GIVE HIM THESE CALLS

And of course a lane violation on the 1 freethrow he actually misses

 

[Miles Leonard]

Good to know we aren't the only ones getting baited into lane violation calls vs Sparty

 

[kyillinifan]

Noticed in the second half that they haven't showed Izzo much. He has been sitting on his duff .

 

[illinifan1987]

Can we all agree that the game is over? Fears deserves this loss more than Izzo/MSU. Oh wait..."poor Jeremy"

 

[Rebounding Dog]

Slow down Wisc…. use the clock! WT actual F?

 

[Chase321]

Only in the B1G can a player with a reputation for flopping and dirty play get all the calls.

Also, you need quick guards that can break down the msu defense. We didn’t have that. boswell would’ve helped, but he’s not as good as Wisconsin’s guards at penetrating.
