Who cares about IU?

Agree, so why did someone else bring it up and you didn’t bother to mention it to the person that did....

Bucky v. Illini exceptionally ugly early.  10-4 UofI at 12:37 mark.  Hard to watch.

More of a question for the TV guys but I've noticed that a lot of Big Ten games have been on FSGO this year.

Has this been something that they have been doing for a while now, or is it new for this season? Any change Fox can snipe the Big Ten from ESPN?

Fox is also an owner of the Big Ten Network.

Fox owns the B10 Network now, used to be 51/49 Conference, but Fox grabbed 51% awhile back.

Wisky will probably have to do that every game that's close in the final mins.  What's his FT%?  41?

Illinois is so, so bad. Reminded me of one of those DePaul losses from a few years back... At least, the hope of that happening (to UW) kept me watching.

The first few losses for UW will be pretty satisfying next year but I think it's going to get boring. Davison/Reuvers et al can only try to draw so many charges before the refs figure them out. Not really a sustainable winning strategy.

Just remember, all that matters is getting to the free throw line, not making the free throws when you get there.  So Wisconsin should be hoping for teams to pull a Hack a Happ.

You are correct....well the actual words are wrong....but the point you are making is correct. In certain late game scenarios, an individual's FT% can have a huge impact on that scenario.

In the big picture, Illinois shot a blistering 90.9% from the FT line while Wisconsin shot a below average 65.2%. Despite this Wisconsin won the battle at the free throw line by getting to the line 12 more times than Illinois. Their Free Throw Rate of .418 obliterated Illinois' FTR of .196 which helped them overcome virtual ties in eFG%, OR%, and TO%. How often Wisconsin got to the line was the difference in the game.

Illinois isn't actually as bad as their record shows. Over the last 3 weeks they were 5-1 with wins @ Maryland and vs Michigan State.

For clarification purposes the win "@" MD was in the MSG. Maryland probably wins it at home.

Wisconsin's "bad" 65.2% FT% helped them. For the game, they scored 0.97 ppp. Their FT offense was elite.

Yet when Happ is shooting 40% from the line in conference play...

Not sure why you respond about UW’s team stats. I specifically said Gard should keep Happ in so he can get to the line down the stretch. All that matters.

Had a chance to help us out big time.

Can’t make a tip in to save their lives and then allow a costly one to lose

Was close. But Indiana got a lot of 50/50 calls tonight.

I remember when Morgan was a legit 1st team B10 contender. Dude just sits at the 3 line all game now. Terrible.

Carsen was the second coming of John Starks.  Combine that with Happ last night. Not a good week for the stars of the Big 10
