It's because of Bo Bryan. Bo treated JG like a grad assistant in JG's first trip to Madison in 2013.
Tell me more, please!

I don't mean as an assistant.
I remain a JG fan and believe he is the right man for the job (unless the grand slam Joe Maddon hire is out there, which he is not).
we don't know of the relationship between Alvarez and Gard.
The drought started before the barrage of bad calls. Started settling for bad, early shots. Never tried to get the ball inside and the work it back out. On the defensive end, we got caught on bad switches and let them start working inside out. We shut that down in the first half pretty well. We let them get the ball into the post at will during their run. Then there was just way too much one-on-one, which led to bad turnovers. It's basically the same thing on the offensive end that's led to every scoring drought this season.
Bo Ryan was one of the most abrasive, insufferable jerks in Big Ten history and everyone knew it. I'm amazed that he's now remembered by some as an avuncular teacher of young men. He was a first-class azz-clown.
Guys were trying to draw contact. Lewis had some good plays tonight.I'm tired of the Lewis "me" possession. It's easy to see coming to. It kills the flow and ends in a bad miss or blocked shot in traffic and fast break the other way. TA and TJL at the point can't come soon enough.
Well stated, that is actually talking about a lack of execution and I would agree with everything there. Unfortunately, Finke just isn't able to get the inside touch down low to present any type of real threat yet which leaves us with only Morgan who was on the bench for a large portion of their run.
What a different season this might have been (starting all the way back to I believe we win the Iowa State game) if we don't lose MT.
It's a relationship between Barry Alvarez and someone in his department who draws attention and spotlight. You can take a guess.
Richard Pitino might be available if Minnesota makes a logical choice . . . .
Actually really can't guess, unless Ryan is still in the dept.?
Truly, this. Crying about the stripes, no matter how bad they were, is sour grapes. Big leads should not turn into 9-point losses. We stopped executing and Wisconsin started their run by playing defense. It's textbook good basketball. Someday Illinois will play good basketball again. I've got a lot of time left alive to wait for it, and thank God for that, for how far away it appears now.No excuse to blow a 13-point lead. None.
And he was wrong - Nunn never touched the ball. Of course that would have just left the Wisconsin player with the ball, but he still got the call wrong.

I actually thought KL had been playing really well the past handful of games and didn't see much to take issue with in this game either.
About a month ago I'd have agreed with you though

Illinois covered the spread
They did not lose due to the refs - they lost to poor offense execution and bad defense.
