I saw the elbow, glad it didn't connect. I think it more egregious than the donkey kick. You could see the intent, he was trying to hurt the Minnesota player. That alone should have got him a game suspension.
-
What nonsense are we going to see tonight from Izzo and company? Will they goon it up? How many bogus foul calls will Izzo coax out of tonight's crew? Just don't like the Illini' chances tonight, have a feeling it's going to be 8 on 5.
-
Not defending this crappy FO however, it's kind of difficult when none of your tradable assets are worth a first-rounder.
-
Underwood has work the officials, be on them pre-game, during the game, non-stop.
-
Well, you know, the completion percentage thing. I'm certain next season, when Caleb and the Bears offense are going nuclear. The media and others will find something else to justify saying Nix, Penix and probably McCarthy are better.
-
If Izzo really wanted to put a stop to this nonsense he'd suspend Fears himself. It's my belief that coaches bare the responsibility for these shenanigans, they know their players, this isn't anything new from Fears. Izzo not taking any action condones it, further encourages it, and we'll see it against the Illini on Saturday. I strongly suspect they're going to go full Pistons' Bad Boy on the Illini specifically, Wagler. Don't think it have much of an effect on the boys from the Balkans but, they're going to target Wagler.

That re-direct assist by Tomislav Ivisic was a kick ass play, you could hear the disgust in Fred Hoiberg' voice during the post game PC. Loved his whining about Sandfort being held while they we're pounding the horsefeathers out of Wagler all day.
-
This is pretty cool, exemplifying how the Illini surgically picked Nebraska apart - La Tulip on Illini-Nebraska
-
TB's uniforms weren't bad either
-
Was a good game, really like how MSU looks hopefully, they'll have a better tournament than last year. Your Lions are pretty good as well.
-
Think the Big Ten' strategy vs. Wagler now is hack and grab, Washington did it, Nebraska certainly took that approach today. He shot 12 FT's today, should have been closer to 20, ended up with 28 pts, 5 helpers.
-
I wonder if the regression monster is coming for Nebraska. They're a very good team, just don't think there top 10, final four type good.
-
As the Australians* say, well horsefeathers me dead, the Illini dominated the boards and beat Nebraska! Hell yeah!!! *Couldn't find the tennis thread, was one of the nuts that got up at 4:00 to watch the men's final live and was pleased Alcarez won. There were some excellent rallies and shot making, think the grueling semifinal vs. Sinner caught up to DJokovic. After the initial push in the first set, his legs were finished.

PTSD from 1984, start of the 1985 season and of course, 2003.
-
It's probably the Cubs fan in me, waiting for the bottom to drop out, something else to go wrong, maybe, they're genuinely good and things won't blow up. Don't like their chances today, we'll see what happens.
-
Morez-Johnson most definitely, Fears? Think I'm okay with Wagler.
-
UMFan hope your Wolverines win tonight. Lost all respect for Izzo when he sent his goon out to punch Ayo in the face.
-
Did Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers turn down invitations? Or, are they already on the AFC roster?
-
Steinbach as well, he's taller and a better athlete, don't what he's doing at Washington. They're not going to make the tournament and Steinbach is one and done. Guessing he has a sweet NIL deal.
-
The Huskies tried the physicality approach with Wagler and others, lots of bumping, hand checking, grabbing and pushing. It's the approach MSU is going to take, except MSU is far more capable offensively than Washington. Physicality may work on Wagler but, the Serbians, Mirkovic and the Ivisics, have experience with prison ball, they'll take it and give it back, I like that.
-
I know, it's easy to say "only my teams". I hope they play well tonight, would really like to see them go to Lincoln with a chance to tie for a share of the Big Ten lead.
-
An Underwood special - playing poorly, inexplicable mistakes, losing to a good, not great team - the exception being it was Purdue. As I watched the game unfold I could not believe my eyes, I've seen that kind of garbage from the Illini, never from Purdue. Smith was brilliant against the Illini, Kaufman-Renn was very good as well, their performances in Bloomington were a complete 180. Don't expect that kind of inconsistency from Matt Painter and Purdue. I'm worried about tonight, Washington is good, not great, team, there's a big game Sunday. It's a perfect trap game, a perfect setting for an inconsistent performance from the Illini.
-
I'm thinking he'll want to invest a pick for a RB, don't know who the nearest approximation to Gibbs would be this year. Guess, Love, but, he'll be long gone by the time the Bears consider drafting a back.
-
Is Etienne a lateral move from Swift? If so, is he a cheaper lateral move?
-
No doubt about it, he was and is very good. Also have to acknowledge the Patriots path to the SB was, comparatively, the easiest, that's got to play some part.
