Damn if Koby hit that 3 we would been up 19

 

[UKDC80]

Please guys, close this out. For our sanity, for our love of the school. For BBN! Go Big Blue!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Why is BG in this game

Where is Williams lol.

he back now LOL

 

[RobEStacy]

Bread handle has improved alot from the start of the year... He had to look down to dribble at the start... Now his head is up.... Still alittle shakey...but soooooooooo much better...

 

[Worf88]

Get Amari back in until atleast the under 4 TO. Keep it 13+ until then.

 

[fatguy87]

Please get points on this possession

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Come on!!!

 

[NociHTTP]

I get nervous every time Butler gets bumped hard

As soon as it's clear the game is for sure over, Pope needs to pull everyone he can that is capable of winning against Tennessee.

 

[wildcat2243]

The refs are coming, just wait

 

[ukwildcatwildfan]

Yep and don’t take a shot 8 seconds into the possession.

If it's in the flow of the offense and a good look I want them to take that shot. No need to get ourselves out of rhythm

 

[BBNWildcats4life]

They're tired.

I'm saying!

Hoping it comes back to bite them

 

[Kingslayer07]

Rebound and we win this!!

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Love this team. Let’s get a good shot out of the TO. My nerves are still a little tight. Let’s push the lead out to 20.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Koby needs make them pay on the offensive end, if they are going to abuse him on the defensive side.

Williams needs to produce this second half.

Damn Koby! Abusive! Call social services, because he is beating the hell out of them.

 

[mash_24]

No one will top Skal Labissiere for me lol

Skal would have been good in Popes system.

 

[Saven]

Good googly moogly I hate that damned Geico commercial with the pig. Let it die already.

I always thought that was the worst one of those type of commercials from 2010. The one with Charlie Daniels was the best one.

 

[BluPappi81]

good point! I am just upset at lazy and unfocused play by this team. It looks like we got too happy about the lead we had and players started acting like the game was over.

I get that! I’ll get so frustrated at times in game that I hate everything my gaze lands on.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I’d agree but We were tired too.

We are, but we're up enough that the only way Illini wins this is if they get their legs back and just happen to make more shots than us. It was a last ditch effort by the officials. A hail mary.

 

[fatguy87]

That was a terrible pass, Butler.

 

[ck-2]

Butler is good for 2-3 of those dumb passes a game.

 

[ukwildcatwildfan]

I love that play with Oweh coming out of the corner off the screen

 

[the dopester]

Jesus, we can’t get to 71!

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Dang it butler why are you forcing that pass

 

[LmdCat]

We can't help but mix in dumb plays at time.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Pretty dumb pass, LaMont.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I like rhat foul for Butler.. that was gonna be an Illini 2pt fg..

 

[spincr4hire72]

Too much time left

 

[clew84]

Pucker time. This is still going to be a grind.

 

[hotelblue]

THISSSSS

won’t happen. pope wants an free style offense and so far it’s working. we’re on pace for 85+.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Come on Butler, play smarter

 

[sefus12]

And Butler immediately makes a horrible TO. Why do we make this so hard on ourselves?

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Great sub. butler showing fatigue.

 

[BlueRunner11]

These guys gotta realize cant go to AW or BG to finish this game. Not happening. Just shoot it.

 

[NociHTTP]

Good googly moogly I hate that damned Geico commercial with the pig. Let it die already.

All I hear is Arkansaaaaaaaaaasssssss with that stupid pig screaming.

 

[GLR5555]

Get ur head outta ur *** LB.

 

[bbnkat02]

tweet tweet tweet

 

[KentuckyStout]

Good grief Butler that was a terrible pass

 

[hotelblue]

[DraftCat]

No 3's

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

I swear the clock isn’t moving.
