Nice purposeful miss. Most guys can't do that.

Pruitt was very good at the purposeful miss. I would guess he did it around 60% of the time.

[SouthSideRyan]

We never trailed.

[illiniguy]

Eric Devendorf totally beats his girlfriend.

Chris Brown copying him, trying to get street cred. [-X

[Magnetic Curses]

now we can just pretend we beat psu at home and lost to osu on the road.

[illiniguy]

I'm very impressed. I really thought we might lose out the regular season.

[Derwood]

If PSU can pull off an upset at OSU on Tuesday, they pretty much lock up a first round bye in the BTT. I'm not counting on it though

[Magnetic Curses]

that was a wild finish.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Go Illini Go !!

Wisconsin is making a nice late season push. Up at halftime against Sparty.

[TruffleShuffle]

oh hey look illinois didn't lose their last 5 games in a row, just like people who didn't become irrational after the penn state game said would happen.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

We never trailed.

 

lol

Nice work Michigan. You're getting killed by an Iowa team that has half their roster on injury reserve.

[SouthSideRyan]

Michigan is toast if they lose this one.

[Outshined_One]

And they promptly blow it in impressive fashion.

 

It was pretty much a given they'd lose this one. I'm glad they put up a valiant effort, but blech, this team really sucks at scoring.

 

Winning two out of their last three should secure a tournament berth.

[E.J.]

Michigan finally woke up.

[bcl412]

Does anyone else think Iowa's uniforms look like women's uniforms? (This is their first game with these.)

[bcl412]

Big win for the Hawks and Jake Kelly is a stud. Michigan is pretty much done now after that one. Iowa has a solid core with Kelly, Peterson, Gatens and Cole. I think they are two years from an NCAA birth and they will make the NIT next year. I'd say they have a shot for the NCAA next year but the Big Ten is going to be tough again and I don't really know who they'll pass.

 

Hopefully we can get into a crappy tournament this year and get some more experience for this team.

Yes, they're atrocious.

I bet the CBI would take you.

Is it agreed that Manny Harris didn't run the play Beilein drew up so he benched him for OT?

Gotta be over .500 to go there with @ Northwestern, @ Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State to end the season.

[manbearcub]

missing the tourney again sucks, but killing a couple teams chances is the next best thing.

Not unless they changed the rule. Washington and Virginia were 500 last year, and Cincinnati was 13-18.

2-2 is do-able. If we get healthy maybe sneak into the 8/9 game and steal another one. Man, injuries are tough this year.

[hawkeyecub]

Good win. These guys need some reward. They've been playing pretty well despite being so short-handed and young. At least they've been better than their record shows.

 

Terrible loss for Michigan and that might be a dagger.
