[IYAOYAS1]

Carr and Oweh combined with 2 points and were up by 5. LFG

If Perry is still getting minutes 2 years from now, we will be in trouble.

You are far and away the worst poster on this board.

Damn i want to win this game. Want it bad.

I know been since 2019 since we saw the sweet 16! WE ALL WANT THIS BAD!

 

[BBNWildcats4life]

When did Williams become a volume shooter? Lol.

That couldn't have been a focus in practice recently.

Never seen someone as big as him be so deathly afraid of the rim and dunking it

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

I think we play better TEAM basketball when Oweh is out, even though he’s our best player.

I know what you mean but that’s a tough one. He’s really besides Butler, the only player they can get to the basket and get a score if we need it.

 

[zannmann]

Carr needs to take advantage of his size and garrison needs to stop shooting.

 

[mrjuk]

Breathe, Breathe, Breathe. Whooooo

The NBA guys don’t start watching CBB until the tournament starts. Best not to put too much weight in their takes

Which makes it a bit puzzling they insist on having them in the studio and not the guys that follow it year long.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Would love to stretch this out to a 15-16 point lead and crush any momentum they have

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

I’d say BBN has ptsd and is tired of spending big money to go to the tournament just to get sent home early. The program is going to have to win back a large part of the fanbase. Plus a large portion went to Nashville. **** isn’t cheap.

Yeah, I don't think it can be ignored that this game is less than 2 hours from Chicago.

If this game were in Knoxville or Nashville, do we really think the crowd would be like this?

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Almonor loves the corner 3.

Deadly from the corner

 

[Wildskatfan]

Both he and Pearl are like that. One of these days they're going to pull an Elvis Presley.

Elvis was 42 when he died and on a cocktail of uppers and downers daily, I don't think they'll be pulling an " Elvis Presley".
They could end up godforbid having a heart attack, but that's everyone when they get in their 60's + and don't watch their weight/health.

 

[fadkins82476]

Longest halftime ever

 

[bbnkat02]

*exhale*

Ok....here we go.

 

[ukfan117]

These announcers love Illinois

They're there for entertainment, and they are entertaining

Do you think I care what you think?

 

[mrjuk]

Great steal

 

[KentuckyStout]

These announcers love Illinois

They are pumping Illinois hard

 

[hotelblue]

carr has i think 4 steals.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I like having possession too.. can't get too screwed by that.

 

[mrjuk]

We made a layup!!!

 

[onearmedjesus]

Great 1st play.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Would love to stretch this out to a 15-16 point lead and crush any momentum they have

Agree 100%

 

[mrjuk]

KEEP ON KEEPING ON

 

[bbnkat02]

Guys, I'm calm. Something's wrong.

 

[RichardCory]

I think he slipped not fouled

 

[onearmedjesus]

We made a layup!!!

2 in a row.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Bailout foul, he was falling down

 

[hotelblue]

first baskets to carr and oweh. not bad.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Pope out of halftimes and TOs is something we haven't seen in so long. It's really quite amazing.

 

[ukwildcatwildfan]

I love getting Oweh a look on the first play. Get him back into the game after sitting so long

 

[*CatinIL*]

Nice start to the half.

 

[MbergCat]

Great start boys!

 

[mrjuk]

Butler Baby

 

[NociHTTP]

LMAO @ Oweh. Anyone else see him shove Brea toward the guy with the ball?

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

He fell down. No foul.

 

[fatguy87]

!!!!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Otega is a beast generally in the 2nd half

 

[BC_Wader]

Butler's looked awesome today!
