Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[727ill]

Unfortunately we have no margin of error in this comeback. Pretty much need to score every time down the court if we want to win.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

What was that foul? I’m legitimately asking. Have no idea.

If it’s a foul, how the hell isn’t their screens one?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

And right when we needed to make a move, two key misses.

Yes, we need to make shots, but if we're going to make a move, it has to start on the defensive end, which will hopefully lead you transition baskets and momentum.

Sigh... Another big 10 game, another big 10 reffing experience. That's the first offensive foul they've called and it was not even close to as egregious as the other 78 or so this game.

DJ bald head again proving himself to be one of the worst refs to ever live. ZERO consistency on how he calls a game.

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

And of course there's an illegal screen on Shannon.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Can't claim...as I often can...that our guys are playing very poorly. Neither is PSU...quite the opposite.

 

[foby]

dj garbagedump salivating so much at the chance to make calls against us, I'm surprised you can hear his whistle.

Him, Courtney Green, and Larry S are my Bottom 3 B10 refs. Can't seem to shake these guys this year from reffing our games.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Darn it Learch, 5 moving picks on the other end and you call one on us to break momentum

 

[HailtotheChief]

Good thought....FT shooting will not cost us this game.

This game still is not over! Let’s get another run and a 3 or 4 minute dtop

 

[hoopsfan47]

When was the last time a player scored 40 plus against the Illini?

 

[NarrowJ]

It is really hard for me to complain about officiating. Shannon has shot 10 FTs to Picketts 2 FTs.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

The Pickett bulldozer isn't an offensive foul though?

 

[Ramrod2010]

This the exact blueprint for the 12/5 NCAA first round nightmare.

That's what this team has felt like most of the year. I'm afraid that's what they'll end up being.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH THAT'S NOT A FOUL. OKAY.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

When was the last time a player scored 40 plus against the Illini?

Did TJD get there this year or was he just short?

 

[New Creation]

Wow. No charge??

 

[PNWIllini]

This crew hates shot blocking

 

[grantlab]

HOW IS THAT NOT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

The hustle by Hawkins on that block/GT was unbelievable.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was blocked before it hit the board also.

 

[RDS]

Chucking up 3 shots ends our chances

 

[Illynois]

Why tf is TSJ jacking up a three???

 

[grantlab]

Penn State getting the homecooking they didn’t even need. Shameful.
