Yogi looking good this half, and not just chucking

When Yogi is driving our team is so much better.  We have more options than when he is chucking up contested shots.  When help starts coming over, he can drop off a pass for an easy dunk.

[quote name="bronkonagurski" post="32556" timestamp="1390769793"]Illinois is a bad team. If we had rightly beaten them in Champaign, they would be toiling with Nebraska and Penn State for the glory of 12th place in the Big Ten. They can't hit the broad side of a barn. Yet we are only up two points at halftime. I am feeling nervous about this one. Noah only has one field goal. Get him the ball. Feed the beast! Illinois has NOBODY that can guard him. We found that out in the first game. We need to get him the ball otherwise this game is going to be way too interesting down the stretch.[/quote]

If we don't beat Wisconsin, we're in that 12th place boat too.

That was how some people tried to sell him as a player for us, and seems to be how Crean uses him in the offense. Haven't really watched enough of him prior to this year to say a ton on his game[/quote]

The myth was born when people assumed he played like Eric. Wishful thinking. Still think and always will think that bringing in Evan was in direct relation to recruiting his younger brother Eron (who is amazing). Nobody can tell me any different.

I like reading the Illini board....Hopefully their players get as deflated as the fans

We are going to get smoked like a mother******* pack of Kools when we head to Madison.

Understood but if we lost to Wisconsin I don't believe we would have come out so flat against Northwestern.  I still think we would be sitting here with the same W/L.

My god we hit a 3!!!

Yeah, Evan is bringing about as much as he can.  He's never been much of a shooter, 35% is actually his career best (35%, 33%, 34%, 35%).  He's okay, but nothing to write home about.  He's shot a lot of 3s over his career, but has never made them at a good clip.

The board I'm reading, all they are doing is blaming the refs for everything.

aka the Scott May Jr theory.

I only said I had a good feeling about our game at home against them....I agree with you that we get smoked up there

This is our biggest lead in a Big Ten game so far.

And it was Will!  Yes, you read that right, Will actually made a 3.

[Hovadipo 57,360]

That was the first hint of energy in here today. Everyone seems really calm.

Finally…  You get to the lane, and that opens up the shot.  

[Dalton26 16,892]

Hopefully we step on their throats and end it right here.

Lol, they've chucked 17 threes in 27 minutes. Blaming the refs kind of loses meaning when your team does that
