Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

If they’re gonna sit in a zone I’d rather see Hawkins play. We need someone to make jumpers.

Exactly

That's basket interference. Call that! WTF

And a 3-2 zone so easy to attack. Have a man moving around the free throw line. Dump it to him and he can either shoot drive, or kick it back out after the zone collapses on him. Instead they're trying to pass around the perimeter or throw it directly down low. That's exactly what NU wants in a 3-2.

This ^^^^^

Why turn a layup into a circus shot? Man, I hate to be so negative but really what else can you say?

 

[SuperMetroid]

So you can just grab the rim on defense now?

Miller for NW with 2 fouls and we don't pound it to Kofi. Come on Brad

How is basket interference not reviewable at this point?

 

[azillini1]

Come on.. block out

Anybody else’s telecast keep flashing or do I need to see a neurologist?

 

[illiniguy24]

I think that’s 4 turnovers now trying to throw lobs to Kofi

 

[I11ini82]

This is an L. Now Northwestern gets the continuation.

Kofi is gassed

 

[Deleted member 747802]

That's it. Let's get down by double digits to make it interesting, eh fellas?

 

[LIfan]

Ayo needs to step up

 

[illiram11]

Frustration city. Going for a snack and we'd better be within 5 when i get back.

 

[DB11Headband]

In what world is that a foul. An absurdly bad call

 

[JJE]

This is some of the worst basketball I've seen us play in a long time. Completely careless with the ball.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Continuation and a no contact foul. Whatever.

 

[redwingillini11]

Maddening.

 

[BRucks]

Curbelo is hurting us tonight

 

[azillini1]

Rebounding is now even... come on show more effort

 

[Chitownkid]

It would be really nice if college referees were just passable. This game has been a joke. The kid had his hand in the rim on a shot.

It sure is if Illini keep playing dumb basketball. NW is playing well, confidently, and smart. Hard to beat with dumb play and poor passing.
