MBB v Illinois Open Thread
Have at it kids. Going for the outright championship tonight versus an improving and defensive minded Illinois squad. Hopefully our traditional -10 to -19 first half deficit issue is abolished.
OH CANADA!
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
OMFG NIK. All 5 Illinois students who showed up for the game shut up
That was cold blooded, right after the USA chant
What a shot
I'm confused, why the hell was Illinois fouling?
14, I would guess.
How'd that work out?
Go blue!
Edit: and I'd love to see the white board the defense was drawn up on. I wouldn't be overly surprised if the entire thing was just the phrase "don't leave stauskas open" circled and all in caps.
It's a 20 point game. Just take your besting and go to the locker room
They had fouls to give, so they tried to run down the clock doing that. But they left us four seconds, and that was too many!
Don't think I've ever seen that at the end of a 1st half... but I guess I never saw a team shoot 70% for an entire half either
Cold as Canadian ICE.
These need to be called intentional fouls. And Stauskas with a dagger.
by multiple Wolverines. But Nik in the last .01? That dagger was for those U of I fans doing that U-S-A chant!
WOW.
U.S. ahhhhhhh fuck
I bet Seth Greenberg wants to take his sweet 16 prediction back.
He routinely picked against us all last year and ate crow
Let's go!! Love this team
this is hilarious
!!!!
For your halftime entertainment.

WHAT A HALF!
Dont do it like that to em'. They dont know no better.
So umm... I think we're a little too hot tonight not to win this title outright.
Do we score 100?
Doubtful, we'll unload the bench (assuming the Illini don't damage the lead too significantly). Our 3 point shooting will probably cool off too. I would assume somehere in the 80s maybe.
Ice cold
Oh Stauskas that was cold!
USA! USA! USA! USOhhhh Canada!
Good lord
With the same focus in the second half to completely crush their spirits
Takin' Care of Business.
We should start doing a "song of the game" that describes how it goes. Hmm. Maybe could be a diary? Probably way too short. Hmm.
Does Illinois even have a board and if they do can somebody post the schadenfreude.
is Illinois shot 54% for the half and is down 22.
... speechless
Illinois shot 54%?
Unacceptable!!!!! Bench the starting 5 to teach a lesson, OK, Coach Beilein??!
/s
USA USA USA
Illinois trying to play defense
Michigan playing offense
MOLSON GOLDEN!!!!
I'm pretty disappointed in the defense so far. UM needs to get it together in the second half.
R u serious???
Suck it orange crush they shouting USA Stauskas just shut them up CANADA!!
That was epic. What a dagger.
They suck. lol
WTF they just said "without Mitch McGary" on the halftime show?!?!
Jay called Beilein "National Coach of the Year."
Not bad for a Dukie.
