Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[I lost Kofi's blue binder]

I don't think Wisconsin is particularly good even with Wahl, but give credit where it's due: this is the best the Illini have looked since the last ~12 minutes of regulation and OT vs. Texas. Great to see.

Sincere Harris is an absolute pest! Love it!

Our 11-0 run was spurred by tenacious D.....I really don't care who is in playing the smothering D , just do it.......

cohawk with the catch and shoot 3 is a much better play for him...............

Mr. Epps aka the Bucket Meister leads the way with 10 pts......

Good to see RJ hit a basket......

reffing is somewhat OK , and you who know me know thats not easy for me to say with who is reffing.....

I have yet to see a vein bulging moment by BU....he said he was be more stoic.................

we caught a break with wahl being out .....sorry to see anyone miss because of an injury , but we need all the breaks we can get right now....

If Ty would just slow down a couple of milliseconds he would have a couple of baskets now........

LET'S GO ILLINI !!!!!!

see you all in the postgame thread ......I hope to be doing some dancing in that thread.............................

Sincere Harris is an absolute pest! Love it!

Now just get Epps to teach him how to finish.

I LOVE watching MM try to hammer that dunk on the breakaway even though he didn't complete it, 9/10 times he's going to the line for attacking so aggressively!

TSJ!!!

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

This is how we should have been playing.

We all complain about Hawkins, but when he plays loose and in the flow of the game he’s really, really good.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I like this better than that other thing we’ve been doing.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

TSJ TO HAWKINS!!!!!!! NOW WE'RE PLAYING AS AN EFFING TEAM!!!

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

It's a completely different team when they're making 3s.

 

[jumpingjack]

Anyone wanna chime in about Coleman's shooting today?
Any takers?
Didn't @$-$@ing think so

 

[Aldy1955]

Got a purty one hand floater
Needs to rebound with those elbows flying like last year

Pretty good 3 going

 

[dsg]

This is the team I remember seeing earlier this year.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Make MM a role player, and give Melendez/Goode most of those minutes.

Rest CH and allow him to score his points within the flow of the offense, which he is doing today, (he just hit a big three to go up thirteen!) I'd like to see him post up more, as evident with his awesome baby-hook earlier.

Play Rodgers more to get his confidence going--he has good moves and a decent shot, but they're not falling now.

See how easy this game is! Lol

I LOVE watching MM try to hammer that dunk on the breakaway even though he didn't complete it, 9/10 times he's going to the line for attacking so aggressively!

Against anyone else that’s free throws. But this is the big ten darling badgers.

 

[Illini92and96]

The answer has been here all along. Shoot >50% from three and we’ll kill it.
