we were 18 seconds from shutting them out in OT
Illinois 75, Indiana 71 OT Postgame
Surviving a game like this builds character but I never want to watch that crew again in my life.
54 fouls, 66 free throws, 10 total points in overtime. 8-3 .... Priceless.
Tuff game both ways but exactly what Indiana wanted and we got the W there way lol

I'll send them my cable bill.
I had my DVR set for an extra 30 minutes. Not enough. Started watching an hour after it started. Fortunately caught up just as my extra 30 minutes expired and watched OT live.
Or maybe the next director of officiating, to be named soon.
Shot 38% and won on the road. Officiating was as bad as I have ever seen
I was a senior at Illinois the last time we won in Bloomington. I'm now almost 33. I'll take it
Indiana thread is complaining about the poor officiating and all the missed calls.
I guess they wanted more than 1 whistle per possession....
How many whistles were there and how many total possessions? I watched several other games this week bot in the B10 and games had flow and you didn't notice the officials.
In the end, way to gut it out. DMFW back in starting lineup Saturday, we need someone to step up and take his minutes, Miller is beat mentally and now perhaps physically.

He was unbelievable on defense. I’ve never watched a player make enough plays to give your team the win but also make some plays that could lose you the game

Geez, Even I could be a B10 ref if I got to watch the replay of every play before making my final call.
What an embarrassment.
When you have both broadcasters agreeing that the officiating was horrendous, ya got a problem.

Big props to Kofi for catching that ball from Curbelo. Big fella fumbled some of those earlier in the year.
Grandison played well in OT. Not sure why he wasn’t getting in during the second half, especially with Miller out of sorts.

I seem to remember coach saying something like, “if I see you go for another layup tonight, you are running back to Champaign.”

We got a little lucky to win that. Lousy free throw shooting, questionable officiating, yada yada. But Indiana was so weak offensively that it worked out. Not fun, but a very necessary W. 2nd place Illini!
Ayo no-showed. Hate to say it
No worries, that just means that I get to LIKE IT AGAIN!
We are 2-0 in this rough stretch. Win on Saturday will put us in the drivers seat for a top 4 seed and still in the run for the regular season title
This might be the least enjoyable win I’ve experienced maybe ever, and that has zero to do with our players. I really hope the Big Ten reviews the officiating in this game.
