[FromTheLogo]

NOW is when we see a legit #1 seed named ILLINOIS show up!!!

Not an excuse. Ohio state had a grind as well. Out guys need to bring it and close this out tight

No excuse. Just reality

I took this screenshot of CJ Walker's face when they called that 4th foul on him.

Kofi looks a bit tired. He's gotta gut this one out. Concerned if this comes down to Kofi hitting free throws.

Sueing carrying the whole team...need to have someone hedge down

Kofi was wayyy out of position on that one

Yeah Sueing just looking for the foul/contact every time he gets the ball.

Ugly game with no flow in the 2nd half. One of those “let’s just find a way to win.” Luckily, I think the whistle has favored us so far if I’m lifting up the orange tinted glasses...

The refs aren’t allowing any flow

Surprised BU didn't rest him briefly when he picked up the 4th foul.

Sueing is killing us.

 

[Icy veins]

That's 4 on Kofi right?

Feeling like Ayo just biding his time to close this one out.

Kofi only as 2 points and 2 rebounds in 2nd half. We need some second shot attempts. Also need Trent to hit a shot.

Now is the time.

This game has a terrible flow. The referees have completely taken over

I think they called it on Williams.

 

[Highlander]

I’d like to see Ayo get a few more shots this half.

I have no idea since once again the announcing crew was babbling on about something unrelated to the game

 

[BRucks]

Trent need to get going

 

[altenberger22]

This board is great. When things are going well, the refs are doing a nice job and the color commentary is pretty good. When it's not going well, the refs are against us and the commentary is awful. Pretty sure this is a universal fan forum theme, however. Lol

Thank you. Thank you.

Really wish the word "ref" would be disallowed on here during games. The refs are the refs. Sometimes they call it tight. Sometimes they call it loose. Their calls are are always within the range of 49-51% for or against the Illini

 

[LostinNebraska]

Need to dial the defense up to 11 and close this game out.

This. And outcomes can be bad for us when the refs take control.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Think they called someone reaching in, not Kofi

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Now that is 4

Care to reconsider after that call on Kofi?
