whitesoxfan99 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) You know, I'm not pissed we lost and I'm not pissed they played bad, but I am pissed that they quit in the last 5 minutes of the game. That almost never happens with a Weber coached team. Oh and props to Minny for their D tonight they challenged almost every shot and of course even when we did have an open shot or layup we missed it anyway. They would have struggled to score against a 7th grade girls team tonight. Edited January 30, 2009 by whitesoxfan99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well at least you guys arent Wisconsin this year. Right now they are just horrible and the biggest problem is that Marcus Landry has become useless and its so hard for Bo to bench his seniors. (Its hard to say it but Landry and Krabbenhoft have been liabilities, especially when they are both on the court.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) When you beat a team 21 times in a row, the odds say a loss is imminent, especially when your opponent is pretty good and it's on the road. At the same time, this is one of the worst offensive games I've ever seen any college team play, let alone Illinois. It was 20 times in a row, not 21. That was an awesome game. Holding any team to only 36 points in a game is fantastic, regardless of what you say about Illinois' performance. Our offense wasn't great, but Sampson, Iverson, and Westbrook all had great games. The rebounding was amazing, especially the offensive boards. I just can't believe we finally beat Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Right now the best line up (imo) would be: PF: Nankivil PF/SF: Leur SF/SG: Krabbenhoft, Landry, Bohannon G: Jordan Taylor G: Trevon Hughes On the bench Wisconsin has plenty of talent the problem is that Bo does not usually play Freshman and likes to rely on his Seniors that know the system. With Landry being a complete dud this year (he has had some brutal games in Big 10 play) he just is having some trouble going to the younger line up. The last game against Purdue they actually went with a much younger line up and it started to work. Had Taylor kicked the ball on his last drive maybe the game ends differently. (Hes a true freshman.) So Wisconsin's depth isnt bad, its just Ryan doesnt like to use a deep bench and he never really has. He likes to use veterans and he has kept playing them through this losing streak hoping theyd turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Had a bad feeling about this game all week. I've really got nothing to say. That was the worst performance by an Illini team in the Bruce Weber era. I kept thinking back to the Heat/Bulls game in 1999 when we lost 82-49. That's how bad it was. With MSU winning, the Big Ten title is pretty much out of reach. Which I'm not at all upset about. This team has overachieved all year. But god damn that was UGLY.

RockRaines Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Its hard to win at Minny, now you guys know what it feels like to get smoked on the road. I wouldnt downplay Minny's defense though, they forced Ill to play that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) Ah yes the ol intentional elbow to the face ejection when you are about to lose in the OSU/UM game. Stay classy Wolverines. BIG TEN SUPPORTS MICHIGAN’S SUSPENSION OF MEN’S BASKETBALL STUDENT-ATHLETE ZACK NOVAK AND ISSUES PUBLIC REPRIMAND Park Ridge, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference office announced today that it concurs with the suspension of University of Michigan men’s basketball student-athlete Zack Novak for violating the Big Ten Sportslike Conduct Agreement during the Ohio State game on Jan. 28, 2009. In accordance with penalties established in Big Ten Conference Agreement 10.01.1.A.1, the conference office also publicly reprimands Novak for his actions. University of Michigan head men’s basketball coach John Beilein suspended Novak for one game for unsportslike behavior. Novak will miss Michigan’s road contest at Purdue on Saturday, Jan. 31. “Zack Novak’s actions at the end of the Ohio State game are unacceptable and have no place in the sport of basketball or the Big Ten Conference,” Commissioner James E. Delany said. “We support Michigan’s implementation of a one-game suspension.” The Big Ten Conference considers this matter concluded and will have no further comment.

I was reminded that he had a similar incident last year with a forearm to the throat of Eric Gordan. I vaugely recall the play from last year, but I'm not sure if it was as flagrent and obvious as the cheap shot on Jackson this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But MSU has been dominant on the road while we have struggled. We've still got road games at UW (another game I don't feelgood about), UNW, OSU, PSU. I'd be happy with a 2-2 record there. So that would put a ton of pressure on us to win out at home. MSU should easily win out until their showdown with Purdue on the 17th. We shall see.

whitesoxfan101 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Wake making the classic mistakes of a young team. Get caught looking ahead to Duke and lose to Virginia Tech, get caught enjoying the Duke win and lose to Georgia Tech. The Duke win now means nothing because they lost 2 games they had no business losing. They'll learn from that though I'd assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
