Game 20: Illinois at Michigan Open Thread

I don’t think I’ve been more bitter about a specific game/team since that Oladipo/Zeller IU team.

Underwood talked his s*it, benched his star, and still steamrolled us with a stepladder and scissors ready courtside. Sickening.

and games like this are why many analysts have livers going undrafted, he generally struggles so much against guys with equal or better athleticism

I’m most surprised by just what looks like lack of composure when they had been nearly unflappable previously.

Ok, get it to single digits by 10:00

Are we really Ewing theory-ing Ayo?

On the other hand, it’s a regular season game that we don’t really need against a non-rival who is all hyped up. I mean, it’s annoying, but it’s basically the Minnesota game again.

Not sure how we get Franz playing anywhere close to his last 4 games. I still feel like we are just not moving the ball enough. I’m sure our game plan is not 1:1 creators all over the court - or winning from mid-range.

Oh my dear god no…

Austin on the boards!

Ayo is a great player, but he has a ton of gravity. Between he and Cockburn, they almost play 2 on 5 on the offensive end of the floor. Maybe Illinois is benefitting from having to get other people involved.

Only thing that could make this night worse for Michigan… Isaiah Livers gets rolled up under Austin Davis and heads to the bench.

Illini just playing harder and better. Hitting their shots, playing loose with nothing to lose.
