I don't know why I see so much complaining about home cooking. I honestly thought this game was reasonably well officiated. The real key is that Giorgi and Kofi simply aren't as good as Luka at this point in their careers and couldn't reliably slow him down past the first portion of the first half and the couldn't really score against him.
I do think we likely win that game at home. It was kind of a toss up.

I hate to whine... but what about the play where Kofi fouled Garza with his lip???
That pass changed the whole momentum, sometime Giorgi looks unfocused on the court.
Watch the game again and watch kipper have great position 3 times and get called for the foul... They cleaned it up a little bit but by no means was it an even called game. Not blaming this on the refs, but Garza walks on water in the big ten.
It was a great heads-up play by the Iowa defender. Iowa pressures constantly. You can't rest for a second against that pressure. We had a few times we rested when we should have been awake.
The majority of coaches teach their guys to dribble out the clock. If it were the other way around and Giorgi would have dunked that ball, BU would have ripped him a new one.
Go back 30 years and understand it even more. There's a liar head coach at Auburn that fake-newsed his way into getting Illinois on NCAA probation. Destroyed the last few years of Lou Henson's career.

Garza is a beast. Plain and simple. He’s going to get his. Only hope is to outscore them. I feel like if Da’Monte or Kip has any semblance of a 3 point shot this is a game we probably win. Definitely would have helped break that zone.
Want to give credit to Kip today though. Thought he played pretty well, and got screwed by the refs a couple times.

As a lifelong Illini fan currently stuck in Nebraska, Iowa and it's fans are hot garbage. I am driving 7 hours on March 8th to the Iowa game for the revenge game.
Silver lining for today - we're still in first place and they aren't, so Garza can pin that in his unibrow and enjoy it.

After showing his dad, you know where he gets hi
s good looks.
we have been unguarded the last 10 and have dribbled it out. we strive to have class
Oh I totally get that story. I
Oh i definitely understand that history. I just took it as a one off poor moraled coach.
I didnt realize the fanbase, players, and even coaches had such a propensity for douchery.

yes but we were not in clear concession mode. if we were we should have run back, let them clear half court and apply token pressure while they dribble it out. We sent guys at the ball like we were gonna foul. They got it out and threw it deep. If the defense keeps playing it’s ok for the offense to keep playing too.
their zone was good.
Trent had 12 points and chased the defense around all game.. ayo had 11 points, but Iowa took him out of the game with the zone...
I actually think Ayo got hurt about 1/2 way through the Minnesota game. After a layup he flew out of
Bounds and fell into a cameraman I believe. After that he was stiffer and was short on free throws like he messed up his back or shoulder. Was wearing tape today. Was also short again on free throws which is uncharacteristic. Don’t believe he’s currently 100%. Hopefully he can heal up before Friday.
I like a little chippiness as long as it doesn't turn into a real fight. They dunked when they didn't need to and Ayo tried to steal when he didn't need to. Let's all move on and kick their a** next month.

He made a bad pass and yes it was at the most in opportune time. But we missed front ends of ft’s, Kofi couldn’t catch a pass all game how he ended up with only 3 to’s I don’t know. 3 to’s by stepping out of bounds. Missed open 3’s Kofi &!others let Garza shoot open 3’s
