Bad news is our offense still looks like junk.

Nice half for Tre White
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Somewhere in Mn on December 10, 2024, 09:00:54 PM
8 turnovers. It looked like more. Somehow we got to 40 points.
14 points and 5 boards for White.
10 points for KJ
8 for Boswell.
22 to 10 rebounding.

Make that 9 straight over the Badgers. We finally found an answer to all the dorky Badger white kids who used to kick us around in the 2010s.

He's looking a lot like Goode 2.0. If he isn't knocking down wide open threes, he's useless.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Custard on December 10, 2024, 10:18:01 PM
He’s Goode that’s 2 inches taller. He’s been awful. Yet he was out there the whole second half while Riley rotted, not that he was worth a fuck tonight either. Thank fuck Tre White decided to show up.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Somewhere in Mn on December 10, 2024, 10:21:46 PM
20-21 for KJ, Boswell and White from the line.
Humrichous was given the starting spot early but I'm not sure why a difft lineup hasn't been tried.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Custard on December 10, 2024, 10:35:44 PM
Man we needed that win. Hey Robb ask Brad why Riley rode the pine while Hum was out there doing everything he could to fuck up this game on both ends.
Title: Re: Game tonight?

Steven Crowl stands at 7'0, 248 lbs. Guess how many rebounds he grabbed?

Zero.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: illiniray on December 10, 2024, 11:07:29 PM
It's remotely possible the coaches see something in practice we don't see in games.

Fan wrath previously directed at White is now being directed at Humrichouse

It wasn't Ivisic's best game.

We didn't get any home court call calls.

The Wisconsin players and their coach were stunned  the rare times a call went against them

It sure looked like a foul on Glynn Blackwell's kid was assigned to another Badger to keep Blackwell from fouling out.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on December 10, 2024, 11:14:16 PM
B1G 3 of KJ/Tre/Boswell carried the day, rebounding was a group effort. Intense defense on Tonje for most of the game. Kleismet is a pest damn graduate already.

Free Throws were like they are supposed to be, fouls were pretty much even, intensity was mostly from the ILLINI.

Good win, Humdinger needs to come off the bench.

Starting 5 moving forward

White
Boswell
KJ
Ivisic
Riley

Off the bench in order

REZ
DGL
Humdinger
Booth
Davis
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: illiniray on December 10, 2024, 11:17:40 PM
Davis played a nice floor game.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on December 10, 2024, 11:18:45 PM
Tennessee is going to run wild on us with dunks/backdoors. We will need Rez for that game from physical standpoint, White from athletic and Boswell once again from the defense on ball pressure. DGL edge hopefully couldn't hurt either.

Humrichous will allow about 15 back door layups and dunks against Tenn before Brad thinks about maybe sitting him

Post by: illinicalvin on December 11, 2024, 12:56:05 PM
Riley not playing more is inexplicable when either Humrichous or White are struggling. He out-rebounds Humrichous playing several minutes less.

Solid win last night, though; must-win if we're going to be legit in the B1G. Tennessee is almost a freebie b/c everyone expects us to get whipped.

We have yet to play well, if we do against Tennessee that will be a W

so much talent on this squad its ridiculous
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Custard on December 11, 2024, 02:38:45 PM
Don’t think TN is a good matchup for us at all especially at this point of the season. We have several key contributors that seem to be in a slump right now, including Riley. We struggle with athleticism and physicality which Tennessee has plenty of. Not saying we can’t win this one, but we are going to need our studs to be studs and guys like Humrichous to provide some valuable minutes. That performance from him last night was like Goode at East Lansing last year where we had a cushion at the 8 minute mark and Sparty started hunting Luke, Brad refused to take him out and left Rodgers on the bench when we needed defense and rebounding. Lead evaporated and we lost. Would have done the same night if each team shot FTs like they normally do. A little concerning coming off a game where Brad admitted to some coaching gaffes that cost us down the stretch.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on December 11, 2024, 03:12:08 PM
Don't disagree with Humdinger seeing the pine, that said, Riley has got to get more solid with ball handling, strength, and shot selection. As of right now, he is in no way ready for the NBA, he will be back with us (hopefully) or someone else not in the league.

KJ is gone imo, Ivisic is a toss up imo, Riley is a stay in school for one more year.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Somewhere in Mn on December 11, 2024, 03:55:19 PM
It's a team game. We were returning something like 15% of our minutes and scoring. And that was before Rodgers decided to redshirt.
It's not ideal.
Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: Custard on December 11, 2024, 03:56:35 PM
Where would Ivisic go?
Title: Re: Game tonight?

Hopefully it’s not a dagger in the heart of the program!

Title: Re: Game tonight?
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on December 11, 2024, 05:03:55 PM
Where would Ivisic go?

Ivisic could get drafted, his brother is listed on early boards #43, he is better than his brother, not even close imo. Also the draft will be overall light as far as proven players. The bigs will be a mix of US players from overseas and just overseas players...Ivisic could benefit late 2nd round.

Selfishly, I would love to have Riley/Ivisic both back, KJ gone Top 10, Demin will join him, Fears may even be playing himself into the 1st rd funny enough.

Riley-Ivisic-Rodgers-Boswell-White-Johnson and DGL- would make for a really good return team next year. 2 freshman + Costanza. 8 deep before transfers in or out.

All coaches dealt with the Covid extra year issue tho. Underwood's record since the portal kicked in has been pretty good. Will that change this year ? It's a work in progress.
And you're assuming they gel as a team. We don't appear to have any Matthew Mayer's on the team but replacing 85-90% of the experience and scoring is generally what most coaches would try to avoid.

Agree with that last part especially, however, I do think BU and his past experience in Juco and more lends to him handling it better than most other coaches. If nothing else, it gives us degenerates something to focus on every year, root for after the fact when they are here playing, and reloading with interest/genuine fandom every year.
