Illinois looks sturdier as a team compared to 2021 and 2022 when they won the Big Ten Tournament and Big Ten Regular Season. In those days, this team had a tendency to rely on Ayo Dosunmu, Kofi Cockburn, and Alfonso Plummer. If they didn't play well, Illinois became an easy team to suffer and lose. This year, this team looks sturdier as a team because everybody can run, defend, and score with versatility. I'm looking forward for this team to make it to Sweet Sixteen at least.
@ThatGirl551 yall got beat fair and square, TSJ is way more athletic than anyone on Wisconsins roster so of course when he drives and gets contact he's gonna get the foul call as he should because instead of staying in front of him yall grab and push him whenever he blows by any player
Not as talented as storr half his points are free throws and im and Illini fan it’s just facts but Shannon’s vet style of play he abuses the whistle and gets calls and he’s a d1 college player he’s gonna make some shots but he’s not on the same level as storr and he’s only a real sophomore
That was a really great game you can see how Wisconsin was feeding off the big win over Purdue but damn Illinois has a real high power offense I think it was their front line that made the difference both teams will be a factor in the tournament I say Illinois has best chance for big ten . Just don't know about Purdue s meltdowns in tournament time . Hopefully big ten will do better but I don't have any of them picked for final four
3:36 ..."nice" 4:14..."there he goes!" 9:15..."3" 9:50...nice screen 9:55..."its Hawkins!" 11:00..."whew!" -- great game from start to finish. Congratulations to The University of Illinois home of the HAL-9000 Champaign-Urbana
3 teams from last year final four is in our bracket we beat one of them already FAU but I’m just saying not to mention one of them being the national champs UConn and Iowa st who just got done slapping Houston
Why is Connor Essegian in Greg Gard's doghouse? He's an offensive weapon that can be useful on a team that has limited options. I get tired of him not even getting in the game.
As a Illini fan I’ve asked that question every time i saw Wisconsin play this yr rather it was against us or anyone else the first time I seen him play last year I said this guy is going to be a player
Team with limited option? Storr, hepburn, klesmit, crowl, wahl, and blackwell are all capable scorers that play better defense. I do agree he SHOULD BE getting more mins though.
@@unknowntrademark9992 Yes, limited options off the bench. Even with people fouling out, Gard refuses to give him a shot. The kid was a blessing as a freshman, he should be rewarded.
The way they played Friday was horrendous, thankfully they played better Saturday and better Sunday than Saturday. Let’s hope they continue to play better every weekend
Nearly equal number of fouls and very few blatant missed calls. Not sure what you saw but Wisconsin just got shit on in the 2nd half. Illinois just scored better.

LETS GO! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! I watched this with my family. And this championship took miracles for Illinois to win!

@@jimmihaley9679 Let's Wait and see.

I guess cheating never hurts either.
@@ThatGirl551 wtf r u even saying?
Best Team since 04-05. They got the chemistry. Now time to lock-in. They can definitely go on a huge run.
They also had the refs on their side. No shame.

Shannon is the best player in college basketball..

@@dabucket3490lmao not as talented as storr, he averaged way more ppg this season than storr and averaged 34ppg in the tournament 😂😂 you're a hater

Great team! Thank you coach! Thank you star players. Thank you for the team!
That was a great college basketball game
If you call cheating a great game. Ok.
@@ThatGirl551cry more
The result of the game was disappointing as a Badger fan, but it definitely was a fun game to watch. Congrats to the Illini for the win.
Man Storr is a beast. I wish Illinois had him.
Really entertaining game! Both teams played at a high level
@@MatthewNeathery Well you all definitely had the refs on your side so that should count for something.

Double Edey and force the others to beat you, Wisconsin did it and won some other good team with size will do it in the tournament and beat Purdue
Badgers look ready for ncaa playoffs as well as the illini. Great game, illini has been doing it all year so hope they continue wins for a few more.

can bill raftery please retire after this tourney. the man brings nothing to the party.

Refs really fucked Wisconsin in this game
Should’ve been Ohio state…
Too bad they’re trash lol
🤡
It's all shoulda woulda coulda
shoulda been Ohio State
Ohio is worse than both teams so no. Ohio didn't earn it
@@jamwa2039 Illinois was lucky to beat Ohio State. Illinois shot 32 Free Throws to Ohio State's 13
🤡
Very lopsided officiating in this game. Clearly WI was the better team. That is why they are still seeded high. Cheaters cheaters pumpkin eater.
LOL Wisconsin fans lose or win complain about refs.
@@justinscherb749 That's rather rude. Wow
Cry Clown Cry

WAH! That is why Illinois already beat them this year
