I love this team but man this season has been a tease, we’re so close to being great Archived Message Posted by OB25 on January 19, 2025, 15:22:55, in reply to "Beat Sparty! thread. *" This one, the TN game, and the NW game were just one damn play away. And sure you can argue that we won close ones against Miznoz and Washington, but we had double digit second half leads in both of those so those felt like near giveaways more than true 50/50 results. Everyone else we’ve killed. Could be the difference in 2 or 3 lines come tournament time. But maybe we’ll just get red hot in this stretch and make it all irrelevant. It does feel like KJ has unlocked another level.

It’s like a freshman cheat code with all of the experience they get at an early age.* - voiceofreason January 22, 2025, 17:54:18 His comment about feeling sorry for America was just gold. Well played, coach. Well played.* - voiceofreason January 22, 2025, 16:24:43 Also lulz just preceding that comment - Blazer January 22, 2025, 15:49:30 Zach Edey fouled out once in 4 years and would literally steam roll dudes* - CWR10 January 22, 2025, 13:59:28 Yep. And Kofi got the opposite calls. Despite being a 2x AA* - ATL January 22, 2025, 14:32:18 do you need a CDL for that?* - VIV January 22, 2025, 14:30:37 His last line is a problem in and of itself. Star players shouldn't get special treatment. - ATL January 22, 2025, 13:58:39 Disagree. It should be within reason but this is an entertainment product. - OB25 January 22, 2025, 14:20:38 Disagree wholeheartedly. The situation and the player should not affect rule interpretation.* - ATL January 22, 2025, 14:25:32 Finally had a chance to watch the game. This will be unpopular, but - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 20:40:47 His ball screen defense is hit or miss too. - WhitmansFolly January 20, 2025, 22:12:23 I would love to see his FG% at the rim numbers. Some of what he puts up should count as a turnover - meanjeans January 20, 2025, 20:54:46 I’m less concerned about the layups than the awful three heaves and inability to be - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 21:01:12 He currently leads the team in 2PA per game in B1G play and 2nd only to KJ in FGA overall - meanjeans January 20, 2025, 21:36:40 I’d settle for him just having a green light on non-dribble 3s. The missed layups do - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 22:03:16 53% at the rim on T-Rank - UIHuskie January 20, 2025, 20:56:36 surprised it’s that high. do they have a number for b1g games?* - Ari Gold January 20, 2025, 21:00:08 Assuming I filtered it correctly, it's 42.7% (21-45) - UIHuskie January 20, 2025, 21:06:08 Yeah that feels emotionally consistent with what we’ve been watching * - meanjeans January 20, 2025, 21:17:11 When KJ stays out of foul trouble - GMAW January 20, 2025, 20:42:26 Who takes those minutes? DGL?* - CWR10 January 20, 2025, 20:42:22 Yep, or a little more Riley/White. Though you’d need DGL’s handle I guess.* - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 20:59:32 Bottom line for me today, we make our FT we win, we make 1-2 more threes or layups we win. - rozoben January 20, 2025, 18:54:15 KJ is foul prone. That is something he has to get smarter about* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 18:56:29 I was thinking back to how bad our defense was last year and that a big part of it was… - OB25 January 20, 2025, 19:31:04 I think it's partly because in earlier games he got a ton of contact - WhitmansFolly January 20, 2025, 19:17:13 correct, especially if he’s going to be a lottery pick.* - Ari Gold January 20, 2025, 19:03:25 That has literally nothing to do with his draft position. Nba scouts are fully aware of how - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 19:14:13 Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 3 fouls per game in college and was picked #1 - GMAW January 20, 2025, 19:22:40 No amount of fouling is going to prevent him from being a lottery pick* - OB25 January 20, 2025, 19:10:09 Don’t shit on Ari’s piss parade* - GMAW January 20, 2025, 19:12:04 I can’t recall an officiating controversy in any sport, much less college bball - Blazer January 20, 2025, 18:46:38 Lol, no. Hes worked the last 5 final fours* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 20, 2025, 18:57:48 Ok?

Zero accountability in college hoops - Mrap24 January 20, 2025, 18:48:20 Moved up to 17, despite the loss * - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 12:26:09 It's refreshing when pollsters actually pay attention to games* - HamptonSki January 20, 2025, 15:41:10 Probably more that they are starting to equilibrate to the NET/KP ratings.* - voiceofreason January 20, 2025, 15:46:26 Nice. The postive pub for how they almost pulled it off in E. Lansing in spite of everything else - DocWalk20 January 20, 2025, 12:31:39 I can’t wait to play MSU in Champaign. - Ron McDon January 20, 2025, 12:44:31 If there's any justice, Izzo will get T'd up twice early* - GMAW January 20, 2025, 13:03:06 (There’s no justice) - Ron McDon January 20, 2025, 13:04:10 Nothing will ever be Gordon-level hostile, but with TJ getting honored, it’s gonna be close. * - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 12:57:48 Agree* - Ron McDon January 20, 2025, 13:03:12 One thing we’re learning is that pollsters like big shiny margins of victory in road games* - OB25 January 20, 2025, 12:28:06 FYI I think bu and bench were wrong on that to that led to tech - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 11:32:45 Maybe, but the odds of him calling for it in the exact split second that MSU had sole possession… - OB25 January 20, 2025, 11:51:48 Roddy Gale could learn something from this guy if he actually managed to do it* - ATL January 20, 2025, 12:31:59 It was a boiling over from 37 minutes of previous fuckery* - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 11:38:06 Glad I wasn't able to watch. Probably would've broken my FiL's TV* - bjl63 January 20, 2025, 10:19:00 Don’t make the mistake of watching it. It’s truly infuriating.* - opossum jenkins January 20, 2025, 11:07:10 It was but it was also a great game. The pace and intensity jumped off the screen* - CWR10 January 20, 2025, 11:29:46 It made for a great TV product, as CBS loves it.* - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 11:38:39 Generally not a fan of watching games after the fact, good or bad - bjl63 January 20, 2025, 11:10:56 Like... you know it's going to be a road game. This was a road game on Lyle Alzado steroids.* - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 10:41:23 I actually thought our profile had raised enough to not get screwed that bad* - ab75 January 20, 2025, 11:02:35 If there's a smidgen of silver lining, the narratives nationally reflect Illinois getting hosed... - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 11:05:06 Agree. Other than Riley early, this was an almost everything that could go against us did - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 11:10:33 15-5 or better is on the table. I've seen quite a bit of Big Ten ball including these western teams - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 11:12:44 Still 8 in the net* - opossum jenkins January 20, 2025, 11:09:16 I went in with the idea that we'd have to overcome a homering. Then we got High-Pockets.. :-( * - osklister January 20, 2025, 10:34:53 Finally able to watch full thing. Just absurd officiating from the jump. The two on KJ yes but - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 10:06:30 I've come around on the 3rd one as a foul. Extremely unlucky, but still a foul - Blazer January 20, 2025, 13:34:46 Ok that’s fine but earlier in the game same thing happened to I think Boswell. No call - John Coctostan January 20, 2025, 13:45:49 Oh totally agree. Same on the 2nd foul* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 14:11:50 3rd and 4th on kj so so bad.

I call them "breathing" fouls* - OWWDig January 20, 2025, 10:26:06 Trundled over to the Maryland board. It seems Queen has hit the freshman wall* - opossum jenkins January 20, 2025, 8:42:46 Which means he'll go off for 30 against us* - illinilosch January 20, 2025, 10:14:12 No. It’ll be one of their student managers* - opossum jenkins January 20, 2025, 10:15:52 Izzo is such a punk. Fouling up three is for turds* - memyselfandillini January 19, 2025, 21:48:05 IIRC, they fouled close to the center line - why not put up a shot when you're being fouled? - ATL January 20, 2025, 9:21:04 there was a game earlier this year when a player did that - jdl January 20, 2025, 11:29:09 I think I know what BU was trying to do... - uofi1998 January 20, 2025, 10:50:56 Kylan also cut the wrong way* - Blazer January 20, 2025, 14:12:32 Much easier said than done* - CWR10 January 20, 2025, 10:42:57 there are plenty of instances where teams haven't fouled in that situation - IlliniSax05 January 20, 2025, 10:12:32 I was wondering the same. I'd expect Brad to tell them they will be fouled. If you get it close - ibdoc January 20, 2025, 9:23:09 What I think we should have done is make the 2nd FT and foul right away - timmer January 20, 2025, 8:28:25 assuming they make their FTs...they just foul us again - IlliniSax05 January 20, 2025, 8:29:42 Memphis should have against Kansas in title game* - JeffFrank January 20, 2025, 4:45:47 Found it: - JeffFrank January 20, 2025, 4:47:43 What?

Or 3 shots if outside 3 point line last 30* - JeffFrank January 20, 2025, 4:54:59 Right* - UofIL6 January 19, 2025, 22:12:52 Yeah no issue with that - IlliniSax05 January 19, 2025, 22:03:49 2/15/25 is going to be one of those vicious home crowds.
