Game Thread: Illinois at Wake Forest

[JJE]

Remember that one time when we played in the NIT against Alabama? Yeah me neither.

Was the halftime adjust to shoot MORE threes? :huh::huh:

If Smith keeps driving it in like that, I don't see how he doesn't start getting foul calls.

He will get some calls. They will be charges.

You must not have been watching this far with these refs

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Hey, a drive and a foul call. Look at that.

 

[whovous]

Who are worse? Refs or announcers?

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Shooting foul?

 

[ILLHangOut]

You’ve lost your mind. UI has been horrible the last 20 minutes. That is the reason for the score.

Yes but lopsided officiating takes teams out of their rhythm.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Okay at least they corrected that almost blatant error

 

[ILLHangOut]

I’ve been watching a lot less sports in general partly because the broadcast crews for every sport are so poor.

Edit: nhl still has some good personalities

This is what has happened here.

AJ.

Dumb turnover after dumb turnover took UI out of their rhythm. They gave this game away with their own sloppy play.

 

[GortTheRobot]

We were bound to have a bad games here and there, especially with our freshmen. It's very frustrating, but we are clearly a more talented team, just not playing well tonight. Of course, the disparity with fouls is not helping.

 

[TownieMatt]

Refs have been objectively awful. Are these B1G or ACC refs!?

 

[aluma]

Based on what they've called against us, when Kipper got that defensive rebound, they should've called an over the back on Wake.

Finke needs to go up and meet him

yup

 

[skyIdub]

I mean, AJ is out of his mind.

 

[spillini]

AJ AJ AJ AJ

 

[aluma]

Moore freaking traveled like crazy on that dunk.

 

[Ubermensch]

Okay boys. LETS GO!

 

[redwingillini11]

HOW MANY IN AND OUTS HAVE THERE BEEN

 

[Ubermensch]

LETS GO!!!

Thats bull. You're all making excuses why we're not playing bad but you legitimatly are not going to look at the officiating? They MADE UP A RULE and reversed a foul. Not to mention WF are church boys that don't foul right? This is garbage.

They are absolutely playing poorly and the call shouldn't have been over turned.

That said, they settle for deep threes, they do hack, the ball moves around the perimeter with no real purpose, they don't have a legitimate post threat....

This is what happens. If they don't hit threes, it's going to be a long night. Unfortunately, settling for threes, not getting anything going to the basket and not getting the ball inside....doesn't lend itself to getting to the foul line.

The referees have absolutely nothing to do with how we are running offense or how we're shooting the ball.

Blaming refs for losing is sour grapes.
