WHarris1 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Phew, I hate allowing points into the half, especially after a horrid turnover like that. Clean up the turnovers please, and continue the defensive intensity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Illinois is shooting 65%. Wisconsin is shooting 19%. Illinois is only up 9?! If that doesn't mean Wisconsin is going to win this game, I don't know what does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but both of those stats are more sustainable than those shooting percentages. You have to agree that Illinois is not going to shoot 65% for a whole game and Wisconsin certainly isn't going to shoot 19% for a whole game.

Agreed but Illinois is generally good at taking care of the ball and had a few completely unforced turnovers. Also, Illinois got way better looks at the basket than Wisky. The shooting percentages will even out but if both teams get the same looks at the basket in the 2nd half Illinois wins.

The x factor is that Trevon Hughes could be really hurt and his 0-8 isn't going to even out. I haven't paid enough attention to notice it, but I remember hearing the announcers say he was limping.

Yes, it was late in the game so it was hard to tell how severe it was. Still, that was 5 days go and he played through it. A normal rolled ankle wouldn't take 5 days to heal and I can't imagine being able to play through an ankle injury bad enough to affect you 5 days later.

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Wisconsin still shooting horribly, but Illinois is doing a great job contesting everything. Probably the best D they have played all year thus far (knock on wood) I still think Wisconsin makes a run at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 BTW except for that one awful 2 minute stretch in the first half the refs have been very balanced today, basically just letting both teams play. Although considering there have been nothing but jump shots it probably makes their jobs easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
