Northwestern can win this thing. Collins just needs to get on all fours and beg his way to victory.

Williams is winning this thing for U of I.

AC1997 · February 17, 2021, 4:05am

Sigh…why did I get sucked into this game again?

It’s Chase Audige’s world, and we’re just living in it

ReegsShannon · February 17, 2021, 4:08am

Audige gives and he takes

Great idea to sag off Ayo in the biggest possession of the game

Voltron_Blue · February 17, 2021, 4:09am

My goodness, Ayo.

ReegsShannon · February 17, 2021, 4:09am

To double DAMONTE WILLIAMS!!! 8 usage percentage DAMONTE WILLIAMS!

Actualelguapo · February 17, 2021, 4:09am

It really kills you, because they legitimately played him great almost all night.

AC1997 · February 17, 2021, 4:09am

In many ways it was a terrible shot. But when you’re Ayo in a close game late? Guess it doesn’t matter.

AC1997 · February 17, 2021, 4:10am

They had it to two…dang

Hummel said it here, but I feel like every time I’ve seen Illinois do this dumb football inbounds, no one does anything too complex or sets screens. To me it seems pretty easy to prevent a clean inbound.

Actualelguapo · February 17, 2021, 4:18am

NW finishes the game with four (4) assists. Ecccch.

therealmirman · February 17, 2021, 4:19am

But like isn’t so much of Northwestern basketball about just making weird decisions?

“If it feels right, do it” seems like it’s embroidered on each of their playbooks.

Edey was a very good hockey player and baseball player. Dude has been playing basketball for a few years, competitive basketball for only a year or so. There’s a lot to pick up for him in a short time and Purdue does a terrific job with their bigs Hammons/Haas/Swanigan/Haarms and you can now put Williams in that category. This is pretty much a RS season for Edey and he will most likely be better off for it.

BurgerBoy82 · February 17, 2021, 4:55am

Best MSU passing big that Izzo has ever had…

therealmirman · February 17, 2021, 5:08am

Ha. I actually felt bad for him. I had a weird post-college rec league game where I blew out both calves and started turning the ball over nearly every time I touched it. It’s a very unpleasant zone to be in.

Illinois is a fantastic and talented team, but they really do take some possessions off once they see some success in a game. Almost like boredom. I don’t know how we’ll play Ayo (Franz or Eli), but that’s going to be fascinating to watch. Adam Miller gets SO many good looks, I think he’s their x-factor in March.

Four good-to-great teams and then a Grand Canyon-sized chasm before you get to Wisconsin and Purdue. Difference in EM between OSU and Wisconsin is greater than from Wisconsin to Maryland, the 11th place team in terms of EM.
