Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Second and Chalmers]

This is the most frustrating game I've ever watched.

No it's not. This game doesn't matter.

I almost died during Illinois vs. Virginia Tech 2007.

Literally the one call that goes our way gets reviewed because we are in the last 2:00 because of a rule that came about that cost us a trip to the sweet 16.

Was there. Can confirm. Sucked.

So someone could complain on here that he doesn't use his timeouts.

Actually, I had lost track of the time; thought there was more than 1:30. Point withdrawn.

They've been makeup calling the hell out of us since this game became out of reach

Don't shake it too hard.

Too many turnovers, can't make shots and getting homered by the refs equals a loss

For me, this is the most frustrating. Mostly due to the way the seasons been.

Regardless of the refs, you still have to score.

It's hard when the stripes steal any momentum you had, and put vital players into foul trouble with phantom calls

Still happy to see DJW playing so much. I am really interested to see his jump next year.

This.

That half circle is the dumbest rule in basketball. I mean to say that a charge can't happen inside that area is absurd.

To basically say that a defender has no right to be in place inside the circle for a second while an offensive barrels in with his shoulder is insane. Add to that the Finke was never actually inside the circle until he got bowled over makes that call a travesty.

 

[westcoastillini]

Are they paying valentine??? Wtf

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Nunn never touched the ball did he?

 

[mrmb1]

KN wasn't even touching that

 

[Jon]

nunn never touched that ball out of bounds...

 

[BillyBob1]

Nunn never touched the ball when he was out of bounds!

 

[DoctorOrange]

Kendrick Nunn never even touched that ball on the replay.

 

[illinoisfan11]

You can blame the refs all you want and they suck but this is ALL on the Illini. They can't even run enough offense to hardly even get a shot off in the last 10 minutes. It is going to be a blowout in a game we were winning by 13 points at the 10:30 mark in the 2nd half. John needs to ride off into the sunset.

Bingo. This was the same movie we've been subjected to all year. I'd be interested to see how many 5+ minute scoring droughts UI has had this season and then add all of those droughts up versus the scoring runs the opponents went on. It would be sickening. Being subjected to the same problems over and over and over comes down to one thing: coaching.

 

[Branson53]

And that slow motion replay shows Nunn didn't even touch it while he was out of bounds. Smh

 

[CoalCity]

TV Ted. Geez

 

[Jon]

i just can't believe that wasn't reviewed at all.

 

[CoalCity]

Ha love the Wisconsin fans and the Wisconsin players. They are absolutely incredulous everytime a foul is called against them.

Bo trained them well.

 

[Poe's Law]

Love the fact that i rewatched the Nunn out of bounds call that TV Ted was so adamant about and of course Nunn was no where near the ball when he finally touched out of bounds. His feet were in the air.
