Illini Basketball vs. Bucky Pre-Game and Game Thread (Tuesday 7pm on The Cock)
Posted by JFG It's Jake Davis wig night at the Hall, so hopefully it's rocking.
|
-10.5 tomorrow*
Posted by Blazer
|
I believe that would make us double digit favorites in all 8 of our Big Ten home games so far.
Posted by OB25
|
TSJ, KJ, and WR will be at the game tomorrow

Wagler analysis
Posted by jdl
|
I'm no JFG, but Underwood's presser was interesting today
Posted by Blazer
|
He does not seem like he’s in a good place right now *
Posted by biclops
|
Def seems frustrated for sure*
Posted by Blazer
|
It’s early February…these are the dog days. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Wonder if it’s the “dammit we’ve been so close” feeling that is wearing on him.
Posted by OB25
|
I think he's working future refs (poorly) and the selection committee.
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
We are literally 3 shots from 14-0 in the league… so yeah. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Dots….
Posted by harb
|
So… Wisconsin Top 15 next week? Goodness gracious.*
Posted by uofi1998
|
nm*
Posted by Blazer
|
Give it a minute. They build big leads and then give them up
Posted by Blazer
|
You deserve donuts *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Or not*
Posted by Blazer
|
Upon further review, MSU sucks and it took an off night shooting and hose job for them to beat us
Posted by meanjeans
|
While we’re bagging on Krush I would note that Kohl sounds good not great right now given
Posted by meanjeans
|
Avoiding other work today, so I spent some time digging into kenpom data on defense and title teams
Posted by Blazer
|
While I'm at, offensive numbers
Posted by Blazer
|
That is incorrect. All the data is from before the start of the tourney.*
Posted by bucktownillini
|
Not sure I follow
Posted by Blazer I compared the two
|
Yes, the data keeps accumulating but the trends people talk about are always about the data
Posted by bucktownillini
|
so, you need a top 20 defense, but not really? So, you’re saying we have a chance*
Posted by bbonb
|
Exactly!*
Posted by Blazer
|
Very interesting, thx for doing that*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Agreed. Thanks for the research and the nice succinct write up. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Was actually the discussion we had a couple weeks ago that prompted it*
Posted by Blazer
|
On the Krush topic, they deserve a lot of criticism but that focus misses the bigger issue
Posted by OB25
|
we need 15,000 other fans like the lady in the front row who directs plays from the sideline*
Posted by lcubed
|
Yup I’ve come full circle on her. She used to bug me but you know what, more power to her*
Posted by meanjeans
|
On the drive home, the wife remarked how old our crowd seems.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I remember people saying this and complaining about getting dirty looks in 1978.*
Posted by Tuscy
|
the blue-hairs were a menace back in the '90s as well*
Posted by Sammich
|
Yeah I don’t think the oldness of the crowd is new. I also think we romanticize our old crowds a bit
Posted by OB25
|
Definitely truth to this
Posted by Blazer
|
yelling at the refs was their favorite activity*
Posted by assassin
|
It was like zombies come to life when Jim Shepard did the “that is ONLY the first foul on Wisconsin”
Posted by OB25
|
i was at that game. it was glorious and he did. i believe bo even went nuts at him during the game.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
That's valid. Been getting dirty looks a lot for the games I've gone to this season when I stand.*
Posted by JFG
|
Boswell a game time decision Sunday
Posted by jdl Illinois guard Kylan Boswell is going to be a game-time decision on Sunday against Indiana, per coach Brad Underwood, as he nears a return from his fractured hand. He’ll be unrestricted in practice, and whether he will play will come down to how he responds. pic.twitter.com/avxnFyYkrG
|
we should push the game time back to 11:59PM”
Posted by bbonb
|
Which hand did he fracture? Is it his non-shooting hand?
Posted by ibdoc
|
No, it was his right hand (shooting hand).*
Posted by JFG
|
Wow, impressive if he can get back this quick and still have a good shot*
Posted by ibdoc
|
I have a feeling he plays Sunday. His shot won’t be good. But it’ll be great having him*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Counterpoint: if we were going against a similar player I’d be terrified *
Posted by meanjeans
|
That’s what I would guess. He’s apparently had this same injury before, IIRC
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Need someone to check Wilkerson*
Posted by Blazer
|
Yep. That’s the main reason I think he’ll be back in some capacity *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Brad nearly went full Walter Sobchak at the end of his postgame. Starts about 13:35
Posted by meanjeans
|
Finally got around to watching the whole thing. That's as pissed as I can recall him being in awhile
Posted by Blazer
|
Tell me more about the lack of respect. Minute mark?*
Posted by JeffFrank
|
That was the most obvious*
Posted by Blazer
|
What's the frustration with Andrej's situation? *
Posted by Tuscy
|
Supposedly self scratched right before start of game after attending pregame presser and workout. *
Posted by harb
|
Interesting. Hadn't heard that.
Posted by JFG
|
I didn't notice that...just frustration over the injuries in general.
Posted by JFG
|
What is his injury? Do we know or is it a secret?*
Posted by ibdoc
|
Chump edit...I responded like you were asking about Kylan.*
Posted by JFG
|
Jesus...I need to switch to decaf.*
Posted by JFG
|
ooo
Posted by jdl
|
I have always been impressed with Krush, but I was noticeably shocked/disappointed against Bucky
Posted by RSMBob
|
It's not good this year. Someone needs to step in and change the culture*
Posted by OWWDig
|
DIA is all over Krush this year about behavior and other items
Posted by icasaman
|
Is the DIA instructing them to be silent when they should be making noise?
Posted by JFG
|
If you're told to quiet down enough times, that is what you get
Posted by icasaman
|
Krush jumping up and down and yelling "OHHHHH" whenever the other team had possession seemed to work
Posted by IlliniOllie The Krush of today sucks compared to what it once was, period. They're too quiet, they're on their phones, they're making too many obnoxious personal attacks when they do yell, and there's more than a few who look like they're there more as a social event or for an Instagram photo session or TikTok video. The old people here remember when the Krush was far better and those things weren't a problem.
|
POTD. 100% agree.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Roughy shared a tweet yesterday (I think) saying the change happened after covid
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
His points are so valid.
Posted by JFG
|
Breslin seems to still have it figured out. *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Mackey as well
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
ive seen some complaning by purdue fans about mackey this year too*
Posted by assassin
|
Must just be all older students there.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
are you saying the DIA has told krush not to cheer as loudly?
Posted by VIV
|
Semantics
Posted by icasaman
|
like what?
Posted by VIV
|
it's not semantics. being told to stop saying vulgar/inappropriate stuff at coaches & players
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
reading between the lines and some other stuff i've seen - the implication is there are some/a lot
Posted by John Coctostan
|
That's my take
Posted by jdl
|
Yeah, that's what it totally is.
Posted by JFG
|
I'm gonna guess most people don't really care who shoulders the blame - just fix it*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I would guess the vast majority involved don't think anything is wrong*
Posted by icasaman
|
Anyone that doesnt think something is wrong is part of the problem*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Maybe they can take a hint from social media while they're scrolling during the game on Sunday*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
the crowd atmosphere is way down the list of why a team loses
Posted by icasaman
|
Curious then why historically road teams lose in college basketball approximately 2/3 of the time
Posted by Blazer
|
I think a real actual crowd and we win Tuesday night
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
dude, no. krush drives the crowd. it's like 80% of the crowd noise at times.
Posted by VIV
|
crowd atmosphere can absolutely impact how opponents play
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
The stadium reno was done to give Krush a prime location and visibility (and volume).
Posted by JFG
|
At NW back up to a Q1 win after their showing against Michigan last night
Posted by Blazer Resume remains solid as is, still plenty of opportunities to bolster it. Next four are all Q1.
|
Barring huge improvements coaching and rotations
Posted by redgrange77
|
I'll take a medium beef and cheddar and an order of mozz sticks.
Posted by Illiniphil
|
Winning the rest of our conference games is entirely possible and we're a lock 2 seed
Posted by GMAW
|
Just need SOMEBODY to step up and hang a few losses on Michigan.
Posted by JFG
|
@ Purdue and @ Illinois and we're co-champs and #1 seed*
Posted by GMAW
|
Get Andre back by Sunday and Kylan back by UCLA, and I can see it.*
Posted by JFG
|
Are we sure Kylan’s not back Sunday? I’m not sure of that*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
When asked last week, Brad's answer was "I don't know that."
Posted by JFG
|
jinxes aren't real*
Posted by VIV
|
Also who are we to look down our noses at a 3 seed "at best"? This fucking fanbase*
Posted by Blazer
|
Sign me up right now for a 3.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Seriously. A 3 seed would be awesome. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Now I get why SFC sounds like a morgue*
Posted by illini21
|
well, our offense does suck, rangin blangin dangin!*
Posted by OWWDig
|
This is the time we go sit down with the therapist and tell her where the bad man touched you.
Posted by uofi1998
|
He had a lisp and a raspy voice and he touched me right on my orange and blue...
Posted by Tuscy
|
Felt like doing a couple of shots after Wisco. :-(((
Posted by osklister
|
Jinxes aren’t real. And if we are down 2 starters we aren’t a top 8. Which applies to lots of teams
Posted by MC
|
Quite literally a historically good offense but our coaching sucks now?*
Posted by OB25
|
And our two recent losses are OT losses @ a top 10 team and vs a team has a win @ Mich while we

Huh? Just need to get healthy

|
This isn't an alt of mine, btw*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
We're not losing out
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Also thanks to whoever gave me the tip to park north of SFC
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I'll have to remember that. I parked in E14 and that was a cluster. A good 30+ minute wait to exit*
Posted by ibdoc
|
Whoa. I must've gotten out quickly because I was out of E-14 in minutes*
Posted by OWWDig
|
We hung around for about 15-20 minutes after. I was with a Badger fan that was enjoying
Posted by ibdoc
|
Yea. If you end up staying that long, you might as well wait and listen to the Brad interview
Posted by OWWDig
|
One call sent me over the edge and that was the over and back when Jake threw it back to Keaton
Posted by ibdoc
|
It was the right call*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
If he jumps from the backcourt and catches it in the air, that's a backcourt violation
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
yep. Happened twice in my son's game last weekend. I had to explain it to other parents*
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
When Z was unguarded under the basket and fumbled it inexplicably. *
Posted by Tuscy
|
Not to rip on the kid bc he's been important, but he def cost us several points vs. Wisky
Posted by OWWDig
|
yah there were some little things that didn't go our way that could have been ...
Posted by Tooldresser
|
Increasingly bummed about the last two outcomes because of just how close we were…
Posted by OB25
|
What is the fan reaction going to be when Morez visits the SFC later this month?
Posted by Philo
|
The longer it's been, the more difficulty I have being mad at him.
Posted by JFG
|
I hope they boo the crap out of him. I see no reason for him to be treated nicely.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Depends how important that game is when it gets here.
Posted by illinilosch
|
Krush seems to like being vulgar/edgy when not on their phone so I assume we’ll get “Fuck you Morez”
Posted by OB25
|
Will Krush look up from their phones long enough to notice Morez?*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
I'm hoping that the increased outcry over their poor showing(s) will help
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Wtf is Brent stover?
Posted by digs
|
I was bracing myself for “Round of 64” *
Posted by Philo
|
Apparently NBA Draft Twitter decided that Wagler sucks today because of the missed dunk.
Posted by OB25
|
I think he’s incredible, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some NBA scouts moved him
Posted by voiceofreason
|
If he was a great athlete he’d be the #1 overall pick, he’s an almost perfect NBA prospect otherwise
Posted by OB25
|
Extremely silly
Posted by jdl
|
That’s gotta be a fatigue thing though, which is specific to this season
Posted by Blazer And the other thing with Keaton is that part of his upside is strength—he is clearly going to get way stronger in the next 3 years. KJ seemed more or less already filled out last year in terms of his build
|
I thought 38mpg wasn’t a big deal since he’s young*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
LOL 34/7 *
Posted by jdl
|
To wit, KJ had 16 turnovers in his four games against cupcakes + Bama
Posted by Blazer Keaton hadn’t had a single game that bad until last night. His worst was 3 a handful of times.
|
Interesting, in my head the turnovers really got bad for KJ after the January injury*
Posted by OB25
|
That was the narrative being pushed, yes. (Not saying you were pushing it)*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Had 7 at home against Tennessee too*
Posted by Blazer
|
4 out of 5
Posted by jdl
|
Interesting our W at Nebby doesn't make the list*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Evan posted on Reddit that it’s tied with Purdue at Nebraska; it just got cut off from the graphic*
Posted by biclops
|
Feels like we’re due to win some 50/50 games.
Posted by OB25
|
Saving it for March!*
Posted by Blazer
|
Upon review, I think this one came down to turnovers
Posted by Blazer
|
Agreed. The giveaways were killers*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Obviously the coaching staff has really zoned in on role identification this year.
Posted by JFG
|
It has been discussed but John Fanta is just a bit better
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
I just don’t understand why they think he’s a PBP guy*
Posted by Mrap24
|
crazy talk. He's awesome. Need more guys who aren't cookie cutter.*
Posted by baconface
|
He’s the worst announcer I’ve ever listened to. Bar none. I’d rather listen to Student U.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I thought he was way better last night than the first couple games he did.
Posted by OB25
|
Someone mentioned below but prepare to be pissed about the crowd for Michigan.
Posted by OB25
|
My son asked if we could get tix / go to this game (we are in CO). Cards are being given out at 3
Posted by DocWalk20
|
A resoundingly stupid idea to invite the collectible speculative resell market into our hoops games*
Posted by RVA
|
wtf. this is some mike thomas level shit. cancel this abomination. what are we doing*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Worse still, Rutgers had several problems because of the cards...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
fuckin' Jackie Jr. and his hare-brained schemes*
Posted by Sammich
|
out of respect for my fawthuh*
Posted by VIV
|
Someone in the promotions space should be fired for this, by the way.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I don’t even understand what we get out of it.
Posted by OB25
|
Sounds perfect for the women's team
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
Exactly. This is a Southern U promotion on Monday, 12/29.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
The meltdown over this loss is pretty ridiculous
Posted by illini21
|
Are you not Illinois21 over there? *
Posted by jdl
|
Ha, I am not*
Posted by illini21
|
Phew *
Posted by jdl
|
That board is for the JWs and Kyle T only. Not the conversation *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Guessing the driver of this is the loss of the b1g chances. Maybe blowing the 12 pt lead
Posted by MC
|
Yeah, you blow a 12-point lead at home in the final 7 mins
Posted by illini
|
I just want to win the league again
Posted by snipes824
|
Don’t care a whit about that. Been there done that
Posted by bjl63
|
This is where i'm at
Posted by Blazer
|
a decent March run is not going to chill anyone out
Posted by Sammich
|
I think a title essentially does what it did for the Cubs in 2016.
Posted by JFG
|
For sure. It definitely does sting*
Posted by illini21
|
We won the Big Ten title in 2022
Posted by UIHuskie
|
That’s right, the Iowa game. So yeah we have won one. I think the Michigan year debacle
Posted by snipes824

I'm probably going to go himey on someone today irl. CUUUUUUUUNTS!!!
Posted by Toonces
|
It was a perfect storm game.
Posted by JFG
|
Right. We're really, really good we just need to get our guys back
Posted by illini21
|
yes, get healthy. I'm team JFG here. Good post-game posts*
Posted by OWWDig
|
The whole SFC experience sucks
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Time outs are just constant noise, three free t shirts tosses to the same sections, tug of war pull,
Posted by illini222
|
I feel like that describes most sporting events now*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
That and the need to pipe in sound effects or music at every break in the action
Posted by bjl63
|
zero attention span
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
And I know somebody talked about the announcer guy below...
Posted by JFG
|
100%. I hate it *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Bad news, we're getting a bigass TV for the football crowd to watch
Posted by RVA
|
Baby Baby bigger and louder!*
Posted by bjl63
|
Man, I hate it so much. So forced and cheesy*
Posted by illini21
|
That was me. I'm sure the guy is a good guy. It's just ridiculous that it's needed.
Posted by OWWDig
|
Just bring in 200 random drunk people from the bars and sit them courtside
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
True story. We always partied before games when I sat in Krush. *
Posted by harb
|
Or just kids from the Greek system*
Posted by OWWDig
|
yeah, whatever's gone on with them to essentially drive the greeks out needs to be fixed
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
bingo*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Not really caring today about who is at fault
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I'd rather play walkons for a few minutes than try to get by with a 6 man rotation.*
Posted by Toonces
|
-5 without 23 in the floor. That’s the problem. Need bos back big time. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
What point in the game was the apparent missed 10 second call?
Posted by illini21
|
I don't think that was a violation. The clock hits 20 before he crosses the line
Posted by illini
|
I also think the shot clock started a half second before the possession actually started
Posted by Blazer
|
My understanding is that they no longer have to do the count mechanic in this case*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Last possession of regulation when Wisky walked it up sloooooowly*
Posted by Tbag
|
Not really a “everyone needs to hear my perspective” guy but

It’s Torvik’s WAR*

Based on this

marks post as helpful*
Posted by memyselfandillini

yeah if we play like that defensively with those 2 back, then we can have a discussion on what's
Posted by John Coctostan
|
You lose your best two perimeter defenders against a team that is led by two dynamic guards…
Posted by JFG
|
Yep. This season is about march anyway. Health then matters most. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Yep. Losing your 2 best defensive guards against arguably the best backcourt in the B1G....
Posted by Illiniphil
|
Kylan averages 32 minutes a game. Andre averages 28.
Posted by JFG
|
Brad said as much in his presser. Was proud of Jake and Mirk for chasing guys around and
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Good post*
Posted by OWWDig
|
We were due for a complete dud with a 6 man rotation.
Posted by uofi1998
|
B1G isn't off the table. scUM has a brutal schedule to finish....they're going to drop at least 1...
Posted by Illiniphil
|
Generally they’ve won the games we’ve lost. 2 of 3. neb home, msu road. Both lost home wisky.
Posted by uofi1998
|
[Kevin Warren] Nope, not a split, Michigan wins the title in that case [/KW]*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
Def not blaming the stripes for this one. We just didnt do the little things again
Posted by OWWDig
|
They aren’t the reason we lost but they were terrible last night. We didn’t deserve that at home
Posted by voiceofreason As a strategy. And the B1G has let it happen for 2 games now. That’s not how basketball should be played. Call 30 fouls if you have to. Freedom of movement. From here on out, every opponent is going to beat the shit out of Keaton. Because they know they can.
|
This is 1 place where Brad’s postgame does help. It will force the officials to watch how 23 is…
Posted by uofi1998
|
Totally agree with all of that*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Fvck, just saw the score
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Just got home. Brutal night. Echo everything said below about crowd, Krush…
Posted by OWWDig
|
and now the krush is getting called out on WMVP
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Robert reports Krush got into it with Wisconsin bench.
Posted by Poldark "Props to Bruce Rauner." "The whole SFC experience sucks."
|
Also, no one. NO ONE sucks the enjoyment out of watching a game more than Fanta.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
It stinks we can’t rely on Lee or Petro for even 5 mins. Very damning because we need the mins
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I'll never understand how Petro ended up to be so bad
Posted by deadpoolOG10
|
Lee I get being a freshman but Petro as a 23 year old who is not very good is a bad whiff*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
It seems to take Petro 3 possessions for him to even figure out who he’s guarding.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I'm sure Wisconsin fans loved that tonight
Posted by dk
|
Yep. It’s clear from Brad’s presser that he doesn’t trust Petro one bit. Was asked about it
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Keaton played 44/45 minutes, and was +3. Which means we were -5 the one minute he was off
Posted by Blazer
|
It was actually:38 he was off and we were -5 and BU had to call TO.*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Shame when we were winning by 45 points not six days ago they couldn’t get real minutes.
Posted by illini
|
Underwood is at a breaking point with the officials, ended the presser with a rant then walked out
Posted by OB25
|
He should be. We get an all time homering by Izzo and come home to that bullshit tonight.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I mean the refs put in for a night off, and they took it.
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
Just finished watching. JFC, that’s frustrating. Fucking FTs and fucking turnovers.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The worst part of this loss
Posted by jdl
|
Well played Bucky, well played
Posted by jdl Greg Gard. Silent assassin. pic.twitter.com/yHWlK4eBEc
|
that was not good for me. not one bit*
Posted by snipes824
|
With the ISU loss we moved back up to 6 on kenpom*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
I’m assuming Andrej could’ve gone tonight but we rolled the dice to rest the ankle.
Posted by Herman Blume
|
I saw video of him running out of the tunnel
Posted by jdl
|
Yep. Was a risk we should have gotten away with but we just couldn’t finish*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I am really only pissed about not calling timeout when Ben rebounded near the end of regulation
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Also we were in the double bonus, and Wiscy just lost last week on a final second foul.
Posted by illini
|
Agree we should’ve use a to there but we did use them in ot, didn’t we?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
yes, we were trailing with a fairly low win percentage each time
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Why didn't he call a TO at the end of the first half too?
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Pretty sure we used it on our challenge*
Posted by Blazer
|
Also didn't need to I think?
Posted by jdl
|
Blackwell made a layup with 4 seconds left, so could have stopped it then.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
When was the last time, in his life, did Tomi play 37 minutes
Posted by Mrap24
|
Hopefully we’ll have 8 on Sunday*
Posted by bjl63
|
kenpom 7, defense drops to #30 *
Posted by jdl
|
11-19 from the free throw line will do it*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Keaton missing 2 toward the end of regulation were just a killer.
Posted by Mrap24
|
yep*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
Plus 13 turnovers and allowing your opponent 13 offensive rebounds*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
and not forcing many tos either.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
We haven't done that all season
Posted by jdl
|

I’m just so sick of this shit from our fans.

Our fan base is a toxic mix in some ways

I really don’t think our fanbase is much different than most

Every fan base in different and unique

The toxicity of those fanbases manifests itself in rabid home crowds too though.

Huge WTF for whoever decided that should be the anime halftime and trading card giveaway

Yeah we have too much odd self-loathing that seems ingrained

It’s louder at Mackey and Breslin during timeouts than it was down the stretch tonight
Posted by bjl63

Fair point
Posted by jdl
|
Preaching to the choir
Posted by Blazer Or this is the kind of shit we reserved for Weber after losing to UIC or Tennessee State or Miami Ohio, when things were actually bleak. I try to remember that the online fanbase is at most a thousand or so insane people. But then it makes you wonder about what has happened to the atmosphere at SFC.

I am legit mind boggled *

I know it won’t happen this year, but we have to get back to running teams off the arc
Posted by Mrap24

nm*
Posted by Blazer
|
Don’t think there was anything schematic to this one
Posted by Blazer
|
Maybe it was a blown assignment but giving up a 3 up 2 with a minute or so to go can’t happen
Posted by Mrap24
|
We don't have enough team quickness to do that very well
Posted by jdl
|
I understand and for the most part totally agree
Posted by Mrap24
|
Allowing a layup when they're down 2 with a minute left is not "situational".*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Counterpoint: we repeatedly got stops when we really needed them
Posted by Blazer
|
Guys were just gassed*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yeah, Wisconsin can space teams out with bigs like we do

I don’t think Z sagging off Blackwell was the game plan*

^^This^^*

This defensive strategy is a steaming pile of shit. There is absolutely no reason…

We have Ben Humrichous and Jake Davis guarding legit guards. It ain’t the system*

It’s not just last night. It’s 3 years running of terrible defense*

stopping the ball would be nice too.*

short rotation is hurting them late in games.*

yes we should have fewer injuries *

Wonder if this accelerates Kylan’s return. *
Posted by bjl63
|
Got to get back to basics - lack of ball security, defensive rebounding, FTs combined to lose this
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Also need a full complement of players *

Yes, that too.*

Above all that, get healthy *

Bingo. Hit your fucking free throws. Grab rebounds. Don’t blow 12-pt 2nd half leads.

infuriating game. and we have no home court advantage. i'd rather play away*

This was the first time I’ve really paid attention to the crowd since the recent criticism

Krush should be fucking banned.
Posted by JFG

ooo
Posted by jdl The in-house hype guy having to beg people to make noise on the game-altering free throws with 5 seconds left in OT feels like a whole series of... other problems (not the least of which, why is there an in-house hype man?)
|
Part of why we don’t get a home whistle too. We don’t demand it. *
Posted by illini

Yeah, I’ve been slow to come around but that was horrendous

Fortunately for us, tournament games are all on the road.*

Down two with twenty seconds left, WI ball, and 90% of the Krush is stonefaced*

They were stone faced the entire game

Really bad loss. Pretty self inflicted as well, in my opinion*
Posted by Mrap24

I mean it’s obviously bad in terms of our hopes for a 2 seed and conference title

Well that’s enough of the reg season. Give us our bullshit 4 seed and let’s start the tourney *

why would you put Davis out there with 4 fouls when you have to foul*

probably want the quickest lineup to try and get a steal *

Just no legs for FT at all*

Mirk never really uses his legs on FTs in the first place.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Ball was never above the rim, hit the rim and was bouncing away when Z touched it*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Should be fair game since not in or on cylinder but what do I know. *
Posted by harb
|
seems like you should be able to rebound it after it hits the rim and bounces away*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Why is that goaltending????*
Posted by OB25

It's obvious goaltending, dipshits, use this review to check the last out of bounds*

Hit the rim first. Obvious. Terrible call*

Fuck this shit*

How many goaltends is that now?*

Dead legs on that 3*

this one ref has to be on the take*
Posted by OrangeSox

We’re in the double bonus. Attack. *

13 turnovers have just been killer*
Posted by DocWalk20

This would be an impressive win considering the 6 man rotation available *

My ridiculous hot take is we need to win the tip if we’re gonna win. #analysis *

put Z out for the tip please*

Ugh, this is going to kill me*

down two starters *

Was that not 10 seconds on Wisconsin?*

Hmmm. Had two timeouts after grabbing that board. *

Brad wanted to take those timeouts home with him I guess*

Zero offensive flow tonight

Rapp has just killed us tonight *
Posted by Ron McDon

Z just a disaster down the stretch*
Posted by Blazer
|
Just a killer*
Posted by OWWDig
|
And yet Mirk was such a disaster earlier that Brad has stuck his butt on the bench*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Dog tired. Awful coaching by Brad*
Posted by Mrap24
|
What other options do we have?*
Posted by Blazer
|
Petro couldn’t have played a few minutes?*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean sure, but at what cost?
Posted by Blazer
|
It’s game thread Mrap*
Posted by illini21
|
So fucking gross*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Tomi might have hooked him but Wagler got bodied on his drive. *
Posted by illini
|
Yep*
Posted by Blazer
|
We’re gonna lose if everyone just looks at Keaton on every possession*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I can see it being a hook by Tomi, but call the god damn body check on Wagler*
Posted by OB25
|
That’s what Brad was so worked up about*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I think that’s the main point. Are you letting them play or not. Inconsistent B1G refs are a common
Posted by harb
|
Much less flair involved in calling a block vs an offensive foul*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
This*
Posted by Blazer
|
Looked like a pretty easy call on first viewing*
Posted by HeatMizer
|
He was hooking him with the off arm, but not sure it was that egregious*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Definitely looked worse than it actually was*
Posted by HeatMizer
|
It’s the ref show again. *
Posted by harb
|
Horrendous call, wtf*
Posted by Blazer
|
But they get to be all dramatic and point the other way!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Good lord. Imagine that call being made against MSU at Breslin.*
Posted by Ron McDon

Huge refboner to make that call*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
And to swallow the whistle on Keaton’s drive*

|
these eastern european hands

Argjgh, Z catch the ball*

Good foul by Jake/*

fuck right off DJ*

Terrible call. *
Posted by harb

Jesus what are you even looking at?*

That’s a block not a tie up. Z is kinda weak*
Posted by bjl63

Needs more Fletching *

outrageous call*

Come on DJ. That’s a blocked shot not a tie up. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Thanks for taking away Z’s follow up dunk*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
and they'll have to go to the possession arrow now and we lose that too *
Posted by jdl
|
Cost us two easy points but not possession arrow. *
Posted by harb
|
And it will take them 5 minutes at the monitor to decide that*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Two blocks on that possession. *
Posted by harb

Offense clicking with this limited roster, defense just has to find a way*

Keep grinding. Our guys are tired but playing hard. *

Alright let's finish this *

Huge 3 for KW. *

Jake Davis doing his best LeBron impression on that fast break*

…and without any real home court advantage*

Matt Foley on the call tonight*

He's looking like Otho from Beetlejuice.*

Three fouls in that half. Suddenly we don’t foul again. *
Posted by illini

Z could have another blocked shot or two a game if he’d use his left hand*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I mean that’s an offensive foul on Blackwell*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Hell I’m just glad they didn’t imagine another foul on Keaton there*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Yep. Forearm/elbow shiver to the gut/chest. *
Posted by harb

Keaton needs to learn to flop*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Clean up the defensive rebounding and we’re in great shape. *
Posted by illini

The defensive rebounding is trash*
Posted by Ron McDon

the rebounding is incredibly frustrating*

Way too many offensive rebounds given up*

Tomi on fire tonight. Maybe finally healthy? *
Posted by harb

You get to foul Wagler 3 times on a possession, just not 4*
Posted by OB25
|
Got fouled several times there.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Nice they didn’t call the first two times Wagler got fouled there so he could get the AND1
Posted by DocWalk20

Wagler fouled at least 3 times on that drive*
