Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[LostinNebraska]

The whistle was blown before he made any attempt to shoot. Baffling call.

 

[jrmarcus]

Some home cookin' going on.

So Young can spaz out on Kofi and Kofi gets the call?

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Did not see the foul on Kofi

 

[LostinNebraska]

This officiating is pretty objectively terrible just based on that possession.

 

[Epsilon]

Kopp calls that BS and he jacked Trent in the chest. Whatever.

 

[Fr8trn16]

They literally just didn't guard Damonte... he needs to shoot it!

 

[LoveLovie]

Good timeout here

Not a fan of the calls so far, but as long as it's not a whistle every single trip down, Illinois shouldn't be too bothered.

Kopp on the offensive foul: "That sucks! F*** that!"

I would take 100 Georgis on my team...what a great kid and player. He needs to try hypnosis....his problems are all between the ears.

More importantly, would you take 100 Giorgi's on your team?

I mean, if you like him that much.....G I O R G I.

Really looked like a whiny little kid

Lovie is in the house.

Reddit to the rescue!

Yep, exactly

 

[Illini_Jack]

8 point lead. I'll take it on the road

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Good half on the road. But we should be up by more. Can't wait til we figure out how to bury teams. Man I miss that.

It's basically our home game. Who are you saying I'd getting the calls?

 

[Retro62]

I sincerely hope we come out and show we can be a “step on their throats“ team

 

[Fr8trn16]

Damonte is gonna have to play on offense or it's just 4 on 5... come on mannnnnnn.....

 

[Halloweenie]

Did what we had to do that half. Ayo, Kofi, Alan, and Damonte were exceptional

 

[Hopingfor500]

I feel like we absolutely the better team, but I also feel like Northwestern is playing harder and are just staying afloat by giving more effort.

The Illini don't get the calls at home, so if this is a home game (considering the crowd), it makes more sense now.

Well, you can ask Purdue if we know how to bury teams...

The baskets he takes away pretty much make up for the ones he may not score
