Great game, Illini! Yeah, the announcers were unbearable. I hit the mute button in the second half and watched in complete silence. Missed the 3 second call in the lane, approximately when did that occur?

Kofi had 4 and RJ 2. The rest of the team only 2, including 0 for Trent in 35+ minutes.

And to be fair the other way there a couple out of bounds calls that were supremely questionable. Actually they missed some both ways. A couple times during the game I was kind of smiling cuz Illinois got away with something that should have been called. It's just shocking how all around bad and inconsistent B1G refs are.
My lord that is a brutal stretch. They are going to be a 10 seed in the tournamentWe may not see Izzo in a good mood anytime soon, given that Sparty has now lost 4 of its last 5 and will be (per KenPom) the underdog in its next 4 games (at Iowa, Purdue, at Michigan, at OSU).
Great effort by the good guys, and great win. A few tense moments, but there are in most games when two of the top teams play in the BIG. Grandy was crazy good. Kofi was, well, Kofi good. Good to Hawk do some good things today. Hopefully he can build on that to finish the season. And I knew Plummer wasn’t a good defender, but he’s been really bad last two games. Still not hitting 3s, but he did get 8 points.
Lastly, I typically don’t join the chorus regarding announcers or refereeing, but damn. Usually I can just tune out the announcers, but Williams was terrible. And I didn’t think the refereeing was terrible (or no worse than normal) until a stretch with about 5 minutes left. Geez. Reminded me of the NU/MSU game back in January when refs were trying to hose NU out of the win.

Yes, but it sure will be fun watching Trent teaming up with Ayo again on the Bulls next season (or the next?).

Many announcers are unbearable. Love my mute button.
Our possession immediately after the almost 5 point play that got Grandison his 4th foul that the refs created for Izzo, makes you wonder....

Yes, but by point 15 in the 2nd half and him torching us, I would think a switch would've been warranted even if it leaves Christie a little more free to operate. Go with what is actually happening, which is walker on a heater vs going with the potential of Christie to go off.

And our best free throw shooter on the court at that time.

I'd argue otherwise, unless there's a component of the Michigan case of which I'm unaware.
Right after the 5 point play MSU didn't complete

Me too, his teams foul more than any team in the legue because he knows the Refs dare not call them all and whines like a baby all game long, sick of his hystrionics. Time for him to retire.
Proud of this team. They bring this kind of effort every game then they can go far in the tournament

He was trashing the refs for letting the game run after Coleman stuffed Hall and broke him and stopping play when Curbelo got clocked
