Game Thread: Illinois vs Houston

[sacraig]

We get killed by athletic wings......been the case all year

We just don't have the length on our own wings to reliably stop them. See: Ivey, Jaden

That ref needs to be fired right now. Totally bogus and it's going to cost us this game.

Unreal.

 

[illiram11]

Worst call of the season. Bar none.

 

[bootsy1974]

Absolutely !!!! call. That ref couldn't wait to make a call like that. Of course nothing will happen to the ref, he'll go on and ref next week probably.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Use it!

That ref needs to be fired right now. Totally bogus and it's going to cost us this game.

bad part is ...he is normally a pretty even handed ref that does a pretty good job. Not sure why he felt compelled to go all Boroski today

 

[DICKnaggie]

More PNR please. Still not sure why we have (mostly) stopped running it after last year when it was so effective.

 

[BMoreIllini]

One play will not cost us this game. They got a tech in the first half. It's a tough call, just have to fight through.

That was a flagrant , not a technical, and it should have been.

Pretty funny AT & T add pokes fun at spam calls, when they’re among the worst offenders.

 

[DeonThomas]

Just a quick weigh-in...........

GREAT GAME SO FAR!!!!!!!!!

ILL !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[eas23]

One point y'all. It's not going to decide the game, even if I've never heard an announcer react to a call the way Reggie did to that one.

 

[hoopsfan47]

16 pts., 6 boards and ZERO turnovers for the frosh. Hope Brad reads the stat sheet.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

This is gonna be about if we want it bad enough. Box out and we can steal this game.

 

[Bigw]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a t called for the rim. What a bogus call!!!

 

[Tacomallini]

Who called that

Sampson

 

[skyIdub]

Seriously.....incredible props to BU......there is 100% chance I absolutely lose my mind after that call and pick up another T.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We have two bigs on the bench Kofi needs a rest. under 6 timeout. We need theBigMan toward end. Let Omar and BvD rough up Houston a little.

At this point, I'm handing $100 to the folks mopping the floor to take a bit more time to do a deep clean

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Let me just say; surround RJ, Goode, and Kofi with some freshman and transfer talent next year, and look out.

 

[HailtotheChief]

If they are going to call that aT then it should be called all year. It happens all the time. What a joke

 

[Illini in Italy]

My liver can’t stand this . . . .

 

[Illiniaaron]

RJ provides the length and athleticism we lack don’t understand why he hasn’t gotten more time this year.

 

[bootsy1974]

So sick of Moore.

 

[sdfidaho]

RJ mugged

 

[GallopingGhost]

That might be your makeup call
