Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Retro62]

We are down by a dozen...to a bad team...time to wake up

 

[WizardBill]

Total BS! Kofi hammered. No call. Their guy got breathed on, foul? Get the f outta here!

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Totally pathetic tonight. We set the tone and give the refs reason to stick it to us. Hopefully this is our one mulligan game the rest of the way. Otherwise major wasted opportunity this year.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Refs aren't helping at all. Some atrocious calls. But we're not helping ourselves either.

 

[BRucks]

Terrible

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Let's go boys. Time to rock and roll. Now or never.

 

[Illini_Jack]

This is pathetic

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Announcers don't understand that wasn't a shot. It was a pass.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Play level at 205....not #5

 

[logjam]

Ayo talking to the foul shooter.

Shame, Shame on you for being negative.

 

[Chitownkid]

Anyone that likes Tom izzo needs to remember this game. This is a joke. He has his guys just attacking kofi.

 

[New Creation]

from the best game we have ever played to one of the worst we have.. rather gets these out now before the tournament.. to bad this would be a quad 3 lost IF we lose. Still a lot of type, we are playing bad they arent playing good,

 

[Calvin]

Down 16 now.

Not looking like they've showed up to win.

 

[Retro62]

I don’t even know what to say...my family has gone into hiding based on my reactions

 

[TCTORNADO]

Shame, Shame on you for being negative.

Sorry, just not a good look.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

I do not get how we can play so flat with teams that are not as good.

 

[Keisersose]

It’s this crew fellas. They screw us every time. You think out bad play has something to do with the frustration of the Bs calls?
Sure we have to overcome it. But it’s Bs. Larry scores i crew. All the time

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

We are down because of cold shooting (24%) and foul trouble (Kofi)

I meant, and I apologize if this wasn’t clear, that we weren’t losing ONLY because of those things but also because it looks like we’re sleepwalking.

The second half has only confirmed this and then some, unfortunately.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

We are getting outhustled, getting beat down the court.

 

[thehass]

MSU is playing like a tournament team tonight.

We are playing like a non tournament team.

 

[LouHenson]

This game is over, the definition of playing down. They really have a tough road to how. 1 - 4 down the stretch is a possibility. Really sad they could not get up for a critical game. Oh well, they obviously did not come out of half with any fire

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

If this is how they are calling this and the way we are playing, lets get ready for Wisky

Let's get ready for Nebraska first.

Why not? The refs don't call it..I would too if the refs are letting them get away with murder

Then Kofi needs to step up and make free throws. That's the trade off and it's a good strategy. Why let him dunk it? Hack him and send him to the line. Last game, he was living good from the line. You're going to see a lot more of it going forward as this season plays out.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Ugh. They don't have any answers right now.
