Brad going for 4 in a row in Kohl. Wahl has never beaten the Illini. The weasels will be desperate and hungry, who will have a career game for them? We’ll find out Saturday!

They are on a season killing 2-6 run.
They are awful on D right now.

This is the easiest of our last three games.

I’d agree. Need to win this one and split the other two.

Last 4 games were decided by a total of 18 points either way, with 8 in the last one alone.

91st scoring defense against the 205 scoring defense...btw Minny is 148th.

This is no given obviously regardless of how the Wisky season has turned out....

Klesmit is the pain in the ass for them, career high possibility.

No such thing as must wins. They play them one game at a time and try not to think ahead.

Of course, in the post season tournament play, every game is must win if you want to keep playing.

So allegedly this is the guy doing the defensive game planning.

Could have ended the half better but after the start we had I'll take a 2 point lead at half on the road.
Title: Re: Wisconsin Death Trip — Saturday 3/2 High Noon BTN
Post by: Somewhere in Mn on March 02, 2024, 12:57:23 PM
6-10 from 3 and 1-5 for them. We're getting outrebounded and we're down 5 points in free shots.
7 turnovers for the baggers good for 14 points.

Post by: Illinifan5775 on March 02, 2024, 01:01:04 PM
OK defense at times, other times head scratching. Like the unguarded guy under the hoop near the end of the half. ???
Are the refs paying attention to all the hacking, butchering, slamming guys with shoulders to the chest so their players down low can get up a shot. Just BS reffing in favor of UW. 8 fouls called, could have been 15 easily.

Questionable refereeing on both sides, alot of gimme's/ghost/phantom calls for both teams. Aggressive play for both teams, great quality road win for the ILLINI. This will be talked about come March....first team 4 times yada yada yada.....either way very good for our boys.

Domask with a statement....should have offered me, and he let the fans know it and his parents let the fans know it has well. Glad he is playing for us. Wisky had no gameplan or ability to stop him or TSJ again.

Way to secure the double bye Coach/ILLINI !!!!

Had to start on delay and didn’t catch up until late in the game. We had 8 points at the 12 minute mark of first half and finished regulation with 91. Another really entertaining game down the stretch with plenty of oh shit moments to keep it interesting late. Mostly them throwing threes in from everywhere. Way to hit free shots and seal it against a desperate team in a tough environment. 4 in a row! Enjoy the ride.

Not gonna lie that whole Howard Moore thing had me thinking of the Penn St game. Why us? Why now? It seemed to give them some extra mojo early on. Glad we were able to fight through it and get the W.

The only thing I could think of with the whole Howard Moore thing was that god awful UIC loss. He was the head coach for UIC at the time.

Usual crap officiating by Big 10 refs, they could have called 15 fouls on UW in the first half alone but only called 8. Really didn't keep track in the 2nd half. This is what kills Big 10 teams in March Madness, better refs that won't let that crap go on.

Very solid win! Only 8 to's for us and a few of them should never have happened.  Badgers score in the 80's and lose?  Somewhere, Bo Ryan is puking.
