Get the ball to Trent, Davis, or Alex.

[SouthSideRyan]

Well that was a colossal waste of time.

[Magnetic Curses]

refs trying to find waldo.

[SouthSideRyan]

Seriously, how does Trent shoot 90%? He seems to miss every other mop up free throw.

 

COVERED

Illinois is a fantastic defensive team that can be intensely frustrating on the offensive end due to their inability to get the ball inside consistently, settling for a ton of jump shots. At the same time, they are a poor offensive rebounding team (overall a below average rebounding team, but exceptionally poor on the offensive glass), so if their one jumpshot doesn't fall, they're often not getting to the line or getting a second chance, so every point seems like a chore.

We could use a UM win here to keep our faint hopes of a B10 Championship alive.

Might happen with Johnson in foul trouble and Calasan out with the flu.

As usual, I read this thread and assumed UI lost, only to find out they won by ten+.

 

I'm not gonna make too much fun of you Illini fans because I'm probably the same way when I watch my teams play. Maybe it's part of being a Cubs fan. But damn, if you read each UI game portion of this thread, you'd think the Illini were about 3-26 on the season.

According to Loren Tate as mentioned on IlliniBoard, Minnesota went 2-41 on jump shots.

That, and they were completely robbed by every referee during every game.

Pretty terrible defensive game for Purdue tonight. Looks like they're going to lose their shot at the Big Ten title tonight with a letdown game against a team they should beat.

[CubInOK]

Hmm... Michigan's winning. They must be unconscious from 3 right now...

[Magnetic Curses]

michigan looks very good at times, and then terrible at others, like they have no idea what a basketball is.

Pretty much. Sims and Harris are awesome. Michigan could be really good if they had one more guy who didn't belong on a b-team.

[manbearcub]

michigan's student section is like 10 people

they're shooting the lights out tonight. it's painful to watch.

[Magnetic Curses]

michigan's unconscious, but purdue is getting easy layups on the other end. they can't match them for long, they need to play some defense.

[Magnetic Curses]

another easy layup and foul.

[Smack]

a run here would be nice

[Magnetic Curses]

just like that it's a 5 point lead. don't blow this now.

[Magnetic Curses]

another easy layup. see what i mean?

[Magnetic Curses]

give it to harris.

[Magnetic Curses]

what a pass by douglass with kramer all over him.

[Smack]

losing to a bad team is really going to help their seeding in the tourney. end up a 7 or 8 seed and it could be a first round exit.

michigan has players, though. manny harris is the best player on the court and sims ain't far behind him.
