Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[BashCtIllini]

These refs are ridiculous.

I'd like to watch a basketball game not refs blowing whistles

 

[Illiniam1984]

These refs are ridiculous.

I don’t think the refs want to be there either.

 

[InDaAZ]

C’mon, Dain, foul out every Gopher!

 

[skyIdub]

YOU get a foul YOU get a foul YOU get a foul

 

[jumpingjack]

Hawkins becoming cold blooded. I like.

 

[FloridaMan]

Refs have heard enough. This game is gonna be a lot of foul shots after this.

Uh oh

 

[hoopsfan47]

Hawk shooting rainbows...who is this new guy?

 

[Illiniam1984]

Brick city

 

[hoopsfan47]

Hawk release that while still sliding left...no chance to make that one.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

16 point lead. Bad 3. Bad 3. 11 point lead.

Why does it feel like Butch is trying to convince the audience of things all game long?

 

[Navy_illini]

Up to 6 bad threes

 

[skyIdub]

It's been one pass and then hero one on one ball all night.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

For being a good 3 point shooter, Mayer has really bad misses somewhat often.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Swish!!!

 

[NASchamp]

To anyone wondering why we don’t ‘step on people’s throats’ and have these offensive lulls…..it’s those sorts of terrible shots.

He heard he was partnered with Onion and thought he was getting Raftery, not this other rube.

 

[jumpingjack]

Mayer giveth and taketh.

 

[FloridaMan]

We are so bad with a lead it's pitiful

 

[bjp84]

As usual, our bad shot decisions (Hawkins, Mayer) turn into Minnesota points/

 

[Illiniam1984]

A blocked shot that goes in.

 

[jumpingjack]

Baaaaaaad anticipation whistle. RJ played that perfect

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Can you imagine how hard his job is right now with how this game is going? You have the worst team in the league playing like the worst team in the league and we're just kind of ponying them along. He's got to talk for two hours. At some point....you have to just be pleading for a topic to hit on.

 

[Jimbo]

That’s like a turnover for us.
