Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[hooraybeer]

achilles heel! free throws

Illini freebies?...................17 for 31

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

We have missed 14 FTs

 

[spillini]

Single digits. It can be done.

 

[Deleted member 747277]

Of course we blow the FTs

This can’t happen for a top 5 team. It just can’t (keep) happening.

Why has kofi been out so long!!!

 

[Deleted member 747802]

When an MSU player punches an All American in the face, refs are good with that initially. Nothing to see here folks, move on. Under replay, even the three blind mice finally saw that mugging. Does the BT League office have any review of officials or quality procedures that would weed out the total incompetents in the ref ranks?

Obviously not as this has been the status quo going on at least 40 years in the B10.

The refs suck major league balls....but Illinois beat Illinois tonight.

 

[CDRUSN]

Call a foul you jerkoffs!!!

Now, now, no need to sugar coat it.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We need Kofi back in there. Does MSU even have any bigs left?

Two things can be true, and these two things are true

I don't blame Ayo for those misses. Honestly he is lucky he came out of that without a broken face

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini must learn....which is sad to say....that every thing you do in the game has a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Wrong decisions dominated tonight.

I don't understand how a team can be so bad at free throws.

Ball game

 

[812Jamie]

How many times tonight has Illinois gotten 1-2 from the line only to give up a quick 2 on the other end?

 

[hoopsfan47]

Game over with that 3

Yep. Same recipe. Turnovers, missed free throws and lack of hustle plays.

 

[illiram11]

Michigan State is almost as dirty as the referees

 

[illiniguy24]

At least we didn’t have to stay up until 11 for this

Agree 100%. Also, a decision 3 minutes into the game is just as important as one in the final 3.

 

[BRucks]

Terrible

 

[FeelYourPaign]

We have effectively removed the "trap" from Thursday's Nebbie game

 

[Go Nats 88 Illini]

Yep. Same recipe. Turnovers, missed free throws and lack of hustle plays.

MSU just wants it more than we do.
