Michigan v. Illinois (MBB)/Michigan v. Iowa (WBB) Thread
Mates,
The men tip off at 2 on CBS. Our ladies tip off at 4 on ESPN 2.
Also of note, the top 6 teams in men's hoops all lost yesterday, as did the #9 team. A new record of losses in one Saturday for the top 10.
Let's help the Illini men and Iowa ladies, respectively, continue that ranked-teams-losing streak.
Go Blue, Beat them Illini and Hawkeyes!

Big game today. Just win and get off the bubble!
Go Blue!
Good luck to the lady Wolverines, win the B10 Championship!
February 27th, 2022 at 1:59 PM ^
Go Blue!
I gotta leave at 2:30 so y'all have to take care of things.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:00 PM ^
It would be real swell if CBS switched away from this awful Georgetown v UConn game.
How long before Ewing is let go?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:00 PM ^
@lakewylie,
i think we're at least 2 wins away from getting off the bubble, and that's if we can beat the illini today and ohio next week. but you start with one game at a time, so let's go blue, win today and we're that much closer.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:03 PM ^
Fuck Wisconsin and Joe Krabhisass.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:05 PM ^
JFC. A review with under a minute to go in an 11 point game. Send Juwan to slap both these coaches.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:05 PM ^
And as G'town finally shows some life, a 23-point game gets close enough to become a fouling match.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:05 PM ^
I gotta leave by 2:30. Will we see the Michigan game by then?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:06 PM ^
Will it be Hurley or Ewing that's doing the slapping after this game?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:08 PM ^
What time is tip-off?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:08 PM ^
FFS, a stoppage in play every time down both ends of the court in this stupid uconn/gtown game
February 27th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
You’re down 10 points with 22 seconds left and you’re fouling? Fuck right off.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
Weird UConn was up 20 with two minutes to go and the line was 11 and then the same ref calls 3 straight fouls.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
I've disliked basketball from little East Coast schools since the '80s. This isn't helping.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:10 PM ^
Are they delaying the tip to accommodate CBS?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:11 PM ^
What's the end of game theory called where with 2 or so minutes left, a team up by at least 7 or so...activates the end of the clock and its up to the teams to score and make stops to end the game. The team down has to make stops and make up the difference plus get 7 more points. Fouling becomes unnecessary and detrimental.
Yea...whose brilliant concept was that and when does that really start to become a potential solution for this shit?!
February 27th, 2022 at 2:12 PM ^
G-Town v UConn is finally over but not the 5 minutes of commercials...
February 27th, 2022 at 2:12 PM ^
I'm sure the game is at the under16 timeout already. Hence the slew of commercials to endure.
Nope...we just had to miss a full minute to get them in.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:12 PM ^
The things we do for our kids. My daughter has a band concert today where she has a saxophone solo in the jazz band portion, which will cause me to have to leave by 2:50.
The irony is that she also contemplated skipping the concert to watch the basketball game.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:16 PM ^
Jesus fuck Illinois will make everything today. Can't wait.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
Good D Houstan
February 27th, 2022 at 2:20 PM ^
starting out okay. not great but not horrible, either. illinois shooting 5-8 including 2-3 from 3 is not great for us.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:20 PM ^
Even with that wide open miss from deep, Jones has improved tremendously this season. Great coaching in this instance!
February 27th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
If Dickinson can continue to control the offensive glass, that may put Illinois’ Bigs into early foul trouble. Keep that up!
February 27th, 2022 at 2:22 PM ^
Oh my the empty seats. Even that god awful Big East game prior had no empty seats
February 27th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
Oh get the fuck out curbello was headed OOB anyway
February 27th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
Interesting that Bufkin is now first off the bench.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:26 PM ^
Bufkin has a lot of good thoughts that don't quite pan out. He takes that next half step and he'll be really fun to watch.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
Guys I don't see how Dickinson is an NBA player when he can't convert on so many close shots in the college game.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
that was not a foul on plummer
and stop me if you've heard this before. michigan is playing a team where one player goes unconscious and shoots like never before....
February 27th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
February 27th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
Garbage charge call. Just awful.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
That really has to be a no call. Defender created the contact by moving into Jones. Really awful call.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
Sonuva. We do not want to get into a three-point shooting contest.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:29 PM ^
Without fucking fail. They have a dude who goes unconscious on dogshit shots
February 27th, 2022 at 2:29 PM ^
No chance if this guy shoots like this all game. Get bs charge on top of it
February 27th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
This is utterly fucking ridiculous
February 27th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
Plummer making Michigan look b-a-d, bad.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
Nice little series.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
How are refs so fucking stupid to fall for the flop.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:31 PM ^
Getting torched from 3.
That was a crazy move by Trent Frazier, he's really good and I can't wait for him to leave Illinois.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:31 PM ^
Guard Plummer and make someone else beat you?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
we are outrebounding them substantially so far, 12 to 4,
but they have 5 assists to our 2.
and they are shooting at an impossible rate.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
It’s not as if Plumber isn’t in the scout. He leads the conference in 3 point shooting. Can’t leave him open.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
WIN THE GAME!!!
February 27th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
Why and how is that a foul on Johns?
February 27th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
LFG!!!!!
Beat the biting illilni 😜
February 27th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
@Dwarrior every single one of his three point makes was with a hand in his face. He’s just that good a shooter.
February 27th, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
16 points for plummer in 10 minutes. Kewl
February 27th, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
What are we doing that's not a charge.
Goddammit this is fuckng bullshit
