SoxFan1 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Illini playing pretty well vs Wisconsin. Up 10. McCamey is a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Really nice win by Illinois today. The SRs played great and Brandon Paul played really well which was key since DJ had an off today and Richmond was limited by the achilles injury.

Rowand44 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) "blown away" was hyperbolic....should have said that if IL had shot a more typical 40ish% from 3 that Iowa definitely would have won. IL seems like a very 1-dimensional jump-shooty team. Of course, if they give Wisconsin a game I'll have to revise my opinion.... Well there ya go.

IlliniKrush Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Beat me to it Justin. And we only made 6 threes in this one. All Wisky did was chuck up threes (yes a decent amount were open), which I really don't understand since our interior defense is usually very suspect, and you can foul Tisdale out pretty easily. Wisconsin didn't turn the ball over though, which kept them in the game even with our good shooting, especially in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitlesswonder Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Well there ya go. They are better than I thought. Nice job on the boards versus Wisconsin. i was surprised that the Badgers took so many outside shots when they had an advantage in the post. The game did provide some good material for the debate about who is the best point guard in the Big Ten.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Prior to the Illini game Wisconsin had shot almost 40% from 3 for the season. I agree that Wisconsin should have been more aggressive inside, but it really seems that Wisconsin has decided to be a 3 point shooting team this year. They were second in three attempts made per game of Big 10 teams, and shooting 35 against Illinois really didnt change that trend. This was a game I expected Wisconsin to lose, so I was glad that at certain points they actually could have made a run if they had hit some of their shots. I expect Wisconsin to win at Madison, but Illinois has given them the most trouble at the Kohl Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be better scorers (Battle for example), but IMO there's not much of a debate about who is the best at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the same attitude at the Kohl Center, I don't expect to win. That's why we had to get the home W (and I was a little more worried since it was a "break" game and we had 9 year olds and grandmas surrounding the floor - not exactly loud or intimidating). Then try to steal some road wins against tougher competition, always tough in the Big Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win, their 13-2 OOC mark will be the best they've had since 2000. Of course the competition has been weak, but its still progress, which is all I was really hoping for from Freddy. That UNI loss still stings. 14-1 with the only loss being to Cal, that would look pretty good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all on Cyclones.com. Jordan Railey, our backup center, flipped his SUV on New Years and alcohol is suspected, so that might be connected.

Heads22 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yippee, I guess Christoperson's a game time decision tonight. That would give ISU 6 scholarship players for tonight and just 9 available overall. NIU might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
