Title: Wisconsin (+6.5) at Illinois
Post by: Dominic on February 02, 2022, 11:35:51 AM
My all time lock of locks.  Dumbest line I’ve seen all year.

Badgers are better than Illinois.  Better coach.
And they have a lottery pick

That’s a pretty high line for a coach who likes to give away games in the second half…

I’ll take Illinois for the win and Wisconsin with the points…

Big game for the Illini. Kofi needs to wreak havoc on Wisky's big men, get em in trouble. Williams needs to make this night tough for Davis. Can Plummer break out of his shooting slump.

And thank goodness Bardo is in Minny tonight and Robbie Hummell is in Chanpaign.

Kofi looks like he came to play, and DaMonte hits a 3.

We're damned lucky they are donut for 6 from outside. If the Illini would block out on shots and quit giving them 2nd chances, they'd be in a lot better position.

Expect Wisconsin to switch things up on Kofi after halftime. Need someone else to maybe step up in the second half.

Don’t give a damn about defense (in a one game setting). Show me you can drag a good team up and down the court and hang 90 on them. If we win 93-91 I won’t be complaining about defense.

DaMonte played a nice all-around game tonight. Doesn’t have to be a scorer, but if he can occasionally take a guy off the dribble score/hit the open guy, and drain a 3 it’ll help a lot. Thought he played with some confidence on the offensive end tonight.

Damonte played some good defense on Davis too, I know he had 22 points but it all came from the free throw line and pretty sure he shot below 40% from the field. He made him earn it.

5-19. 26%. 1-5 from 3.
Grandison also contributed in every aspect, including his stats on defense and his man on man defense.

Hawkins will be lead for the PF spot going into next year with play at the 5 and the 3 as well....split time with Goode/Melendez at the 4 and Payne/Dainja at the 5 as well as Pods/Rodgers/Harris at the 3. He will not be leaving imo.
