Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Love the loud sarcastic cheer when Illini finally get a call. On the “road”.

We need these FT's to go down by DMW.

I got the technical for BU right here at home.

I'm still trying to understand the flop rule. Is it a flop if the defender goes with the contact instead of holding his ground?

 

[BWBW]

We need a few different offensive looks, not a technical.

I fear DMFW leaving another one short. Please prove me wrong. Need to tie this up.

There have to be 15 guys reffing high school games that the BIG can bring in to replace the garbage they run out there every game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

OK - the game is there for the taking. SOMBODY find their game and TAKE IT!!!!

 

[Pikeillinifan]

We’re out of sync, but nobody could ever convince me that this game is not fixed.

These are the worst calls I have ever witnessed in my life, outside of James Augustine getting screwed out of the NC game against Carolina.

 

[Keisersose]

This is crazy. Did they give Podz a flop warning? Finish this game. Dang

To be fair, we got away with a double dribble. The refs are atrocious for both sides.

This x1000. Refs suck underwood’s offense is worse

 

[illinitiger]

Bardo is right. Tital BS call on Podz.

I like this version of Bardo...call crappy call when you see it...seeing it alot today. Embarrassing calls..

 

[IlliniRon]

I don’t complain often on the calls but this is the worst officiated game I have seen all season. Home cooking for the fans.

 

[FloridaMan]

Big Ten is an absolute joke of a conference allowing this to continue game after game, year after year. Again, they do not care about the conference winning natl championships. They don't even attempt to establish a style of play or call games to help their teams build to the postseason. It borders on being unwatchable at this point.

 

[pruman91]

never thought I'd ever see refs worse than lil Bo peepee and dj bald head but now I have ....kofi with a breath foul.............turrible

 

[skyIdub]

I miss DJ Bald ref and Bo.......

Edit: pruman

Getting Killed by the refs

 

[spillini]

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks the refs don't affect a game needs to watch this absolutely pathetic display of officiating

Right before he goes concussion protocol.
