I don’t think I can help here. Illinois is cruising

I really thought the score was gonna be a lot worse than 15-10.

Wisconsin needs to crush the defensive boards if they’re gonna have a chance today.

6882

It’s just not in me to want to see Wisconsin succeed. I’m trying.

I’m not sure Wisconsin’s game plan included Tyler Wahl post-ups.

Badgers are getting good three-point looks but missing them all.

6884

Plus get gifted a cheap flagrant and only make 1 of 3 free throws.

6885

Wisconsin shooting terribly from everywhere, yet still in it.

A reminder as Wisconsin falls behind by double digits in the first half:

Wisconsin against B1G teams that aren’t Michigan/Illinois/Ohio State/Iowa: 8-2, average margin of victory 7 points.

Wisconsin against Michigan/Illinois/Ohio State/Iowa: 0-2, average margin of defeat 17.5 points.

Just terrible shot selection from Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has missed some wide open shots. If they can keep this thing with 5 or 6 at the half despite being 0/7 from 3 at the under 4 they’re not in that bad of a spot all things considered.

6890

Illinois the more talented squad, playing at home, WI a team with a bit of a confidence deficit.

6891

Why would you include two teams they haven’t played in that second group?

6892

Three-point shooting:
Wisconsin: 0/7
Illinois: 2/9

Because it’s the four best teams in the conference who are all top 10 teams according to Kenpom and they’re playing Illinois right now, and it’s playing out similarly to Ohio State/Michigan results (so far)

6894

It makes no sense to say Wisconsins results against two teams they haven’t played.

6895

I really don’t understand why Wisconsin is trying to post Micah Potter up against Kofi instead of just pick and popping and having him shoot a bunch of threes. I know he hasn’t made them, but that’s the advantage. Not one-on-one down low.

Lol ok.

Wisconsin can’t hang against the best teams in the conference. There you go @mjsb2

Pick and pop would make much more sense. Either way Potter has been…not good…on either end of the floor.
