MBB at Illinois Game Thread
Yeah, I shouldn't be watching either, but I know there are others out there who are looking for punishment on a Tuesday night too. The good news is it's on the Cock and 10 total people will be watching.

Did anyone take Michigan getting 18.5 points? You have 0.5 points to play with....
February 13th, 2024 at 8:12 PM ^
I saw it at 17 about 15 minutes before tipoff. I just took Illinois money line to play it safe. College kids are weird and we are somehow 4th in the conference in 3pt % and Illinois is bottom half. Took the easy $20 and called it an early night.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
Maintaining my perfect record of never ever paying for the 'cock.
Will raise a glass to those of you maschochistic enough to watch tho.
February 13th, 2024 at 10:10 PM ^
Glad to hear you’re able to get your cock for free.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
This team is horrible WITH Dug; without him they are unwatchable. As in, there is no redeeming quality worth watching. Not entertaining. You’re just hoping to hang around and not lose by 30.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:11 PM ^
So embarrassing
February 13th, 2024 at 8:11 PM ^
I just turned it off. Can't take this shit anymore
February 13th, 2024 at 8:12 PM ^
Cripe, we may be headed to a 40 point or worse loss.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:13 PM ^
Don't have Peacock.
Watching The FBIs on CBS and the Red Wings start at 9.
Since Michigan is playing Illinois, I might as well add this.
February 13th, 2024 at 9:24 PM ^
"Hot soapy water
In the first degree!"
(Based on the true story of one Michael Kenyon, the Illinois enema bandit himself)
February 13th, 2024 at 9:52 PM ^
Maybe our hoops program needs a good enema.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
Illinois is 11-18 (61%) from 3. They shoot 34% for the year. We're 0-4. That's a 33 point advantage in a 26-point game at this point. Is our perimeter defense that bad or is Illinois just unconscious from deep?
February 13th, 2024 at 8:17 PM ^
Our defense is non existent.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
“This is stupid.”

February 13th, 2024 at 8:16 PM ^
Another turnover...my liver says no mas.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:17 PM ^
Right where we want em
February 13th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
another turnover. I can't make this up
February 13th, 2024 at 8:21 PM ^
The lack of fundamentals on this team is mindboggling, can't even inbound the ball, so fucking pathetic.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:23 PM ^
Fire Warde
February 13th, 2024 at 8:24 PM ^
This is the worst coached Michigan basketball team I’ve ever seen.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:28 PM ^
You can remove the word “basketball” from your statement.
Hell, remove “Michigan” as well.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:33 PM ^
Please remove "Michigan" from this team.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
Juwan is an awful coach, plain and simple.
For example, he called a TO with 12:28 left and now less than a minute of bball time later it's a TV timeout.
Not that it matters anymore but it's just another example of his ineptitude at strategy.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:38 PM ^
Not defending Juwan but the team was visibly gassed and needed a TO at that moment.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:27 PM ^
The only remaining question is: "Will they double us up?"
February 13th, 2024 at 8:28 PM ^
9 turnovers and 0 three pointers and only down by 26.
Illinois getting revenge for 1989 loss in NCAA semis.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
That ‘89 game.. was great. But, was it great enough to make this worth watching? I don’t think so.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:30 PM ^
The stats say Michigan only has committed 9 turnovers. It feels like twice that. Also o-fer on four three point attempts. This team isn't beating anyone if they aren't getting points from behind the arc
February 13th, 2024 at 8:30 PM ^
is frieder available? we need x's and o's
February 13th, 2024 at 8:32 PM ^
Better times... Sean Higgins!
February 13th, 2024 at 8:53 PM ^
That shot was one of the greatest memories my childhood because they raped is twice during the season.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:55 PM ^
Back when I wasnt bitter about everything that wasnt U of M I really enjoyed that Illini squad. Bj Armstrong, Willie Burton and Roy Marble as well. What a great season for Big Ten basketball.
February 13th, 2024 at 9:03 PM ^
I'll admit to same. For example, all five guys under the basket in that picture above played in the NBA.
February 14th, 2024 at 2:20 AM ^
Yeah it was fun rooting for the Big Ten teams to do well.
Except Indiana cuz fuck Indiana.
I was a big Steve Smith fan as well. Back then you could cheer on both teams. Well at least I did. That was pre- Tom Izzo though.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
Great googily moogily
Is there a mercy rule?
February 13th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
Hire a real coach.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
Cheddar seems to be the only one giving effort
February 13th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
I think “The Bachelor” is on ABC…
February 13th, 2024 at 9:27 PM ^
I'm still not desperate enough to sink to THAT level.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:36 PM ^
Jesus, they're increasing the lead with their shrubs in
February 13th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
Hilarious yet believable typo.
February 13th, 2024 at 11:28 PM ^
Even shrubs are better than MBB. Damn.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:36 PM ^
Remember when it was 28–25. Good times!
February 13th, 2024 at 8:37 PM ^
I'm at the point where I'm actually ok with things getting worse so they can get better.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:39 PM ^
Unfortunately it's kind of how I feel.
February 13th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
That’s unfortunately contingent on Warde actually deciding to make a change. There’s a very real chance he gives Juwan another year, unless Juwan has some other incident that forces Warde’s hand, or if enough high profile donors tell Warde that he can stop expecting their checks in the mail.
When have we known Warde to be proactive about……anything?
February 13th, 2024 at 8:42 PM ^
We haven’t beaten Illinois since Beilein was here. Let that sink in.
February 13th, 2024 at 8:55 PM ^
Wow…l I didn’t realize that.
