Amazing that Nichi’s cable magically comes back when they manage to win a game 😂. Claims to have missed the Penn State, Mizzou, and NW games but watches this one. Sure lol
I don’t think there’s much to take from this game. Shannon initiating offense in the paint was smart. Hawkins still took a bunch of bad 3s I don’t care if he made 6/9 it’s fools gold. He’s a 28% career 3 shooter. Yet Underwood called him an elite shooter in the post game. He’s not. Epps getting Clark’s minutes is an improvement. Wisconsin isn’t very good especially without Wahl. They won’t be ranked much longer once they get into the tougher schedule.
If Shannon commits to playing in the paint Illinois will improve going forward. But overall I don’t think it will matter much. Hawkins and Mayer are still too dumb. I got Nebraska winning the next game.
