LOL it was actually you saying Illinois would be better without Ayo, which they clearly are not. GTFO.
Illinois is currently first place in conference and has 2 losses without Kofi.

I still can’t hear you.
 
I know @jwardelt thinks I’m just talking shit, but Gard got outcoached badly.

Wisconsin made no adjustments to the post entry from the top of the key that destroyed them. Illinois sold out to stop Davis and Davison - at times guarding 4 with 5; the player roving was guarding Wahl, yet I don’t think he scored in the second half.

Wisconsin has two guys that will beat you. Make the rest of their team do it, and they fall flat.
Wahl scored 4 in the 2nd half I believe. It was terrible coaching not force feeding him as you had no one that could stop him. But there’s not much you can do coach wise when guys miss wide open shot after wide open shot. The coaching got them great looks all night. They just bricked every one. We got to the line. Out rebounded you, 6 turnovers. Again all good coaching. We don’t front the post like kofi because if the pass is made over the defender it’s over. You can’t really double without leaving open shooters. It always comes down to making wide open shots, which we had plenty of. We didn’t do that and lost. It’s not surprising.

Davis and Davison won’t be back. I don’t think I’d look forward to next year if I were you. ;)
Also, Wahl is a solid player.
Ya think? He was the difference in the MSU game for sure. Oh well not going to win them all. Wahl is a mini happ with a better free throw shot.

I don’t care about next year yet. Lots of fun left this year

maybe we’ll meet Sunday in the B1G tourney. Since you duck us at the kohl this year. ;)

Don’t try to change the narrative. No one said Illinois would “suck” without Ayo. We all thought they would be worse than last year without him, which is very very clear at this point.

edit: also, we beat you on your home floor with Kofi playing. Edey made him his bitch.
 
I don’t see it.
Shocking. ;) Illinois has been the best team, by winning pctg., over the last 3 years. Recruiting is just fine, and Underwood’s B1G record since he got his players in and turned things around has been stellar. You can keep writing off each year Illinois is good as the last one, but I’m betting you’ll be wrong.

You don’t need to front the post, but it would’ve been as effective as letting him score with defenders on his hip. Pressure the passer would’ve been a decent start.

We missed open looks and fts too. Letting your role players shoot was a good strategy.

The tide will turn. Always does. You’ve had 20 years of writing off Wisconsin. You should be used to it. ;)

It was Davis and Davison missing most of the wide open looks. The role guys always miss those. That’s just normal for us. Should have ran some more stuff for Bowman when he started to hit some.

Davison was locked up all night, and Davis is a high-volume, low-efficiency guy most games. 22 on 19 is typical.
 
Uhh.. you lost to Purdue with Kofi, unfortunately he couldn't guard the post without fouling.
Did Kofi’s face foul Edey’s elbows?

Just a tip, beat the scrubs on your schedule. You have the head-to-head and knocked Kofi out for our only other loss.

Yet we still have a game on you

Johnny hasn’t made his jumpers since turning his ankle. Not the same quick lift. Brad missed wide open looks. Shit he usually makes them with a guy right in his face. Ask Iowa. He had 15 3’s last 3 games. He’s streaky unfortunately.
 
I do have to tip my cap to Shaka. I know won’t is hot garbage, but I didn’t expect anything from this team this year under Shaka
Still not sure how good he’ll be there long term but they have a nice turn around the last month. We beat them like an Iowa drum.
 
No grief here. You better worry about this year before thinking about next year though. Getting past that round of 32 isn’t easy.
Reality is kicking in, huh?

You’re our punching bag.

Name me the 5 teams you think are better than Illinois next year. I’m still waiting for a serious response.

You can’t even answer that until summer and transfer portal.
You lost 15 straight to us recently. You’ve got a long ways to go to reach that level. Once kofi leaves it’s over.
 
Once again, you are so fcking dumb to make a joke off a clear intentional pun on the word vulva. How many times do we have to do go over this? Fcking idiot.
Vulva are you there?

Hello? I can’t hear you.
 
Games at IU and Purdue will likely shut these guys up next week. Tough schedule for them remaining.
He’s a moron, tried to push the goal posts a fcking mile by saying we thought Illinois would “suck” without Ayo when the entire argument was that they would not be as good without Ayo. Fcking ridiculous.
