I’m all for coaches speaking up. Whatever it takes to get the conference to take it seriously. It’s really really bad….

Disagree. Among the top tier of college referees in the country.

I really don't understand why an off floor official can't review every goaltend about as quickly as it is called. That should be the rule and it is a call notoriously difficult to call from the floor and easy to call from video.

That was a great win! I'm hoping the coaching staff caught that the Hoosiers play against Edey and the Wanna makers to win their game. Drive, pull up and take the 12 to 15 jumper. Don't go at the big man, and when there's the chance,force it down court to beat him setting up in the lane. JMO. But sure nice to see Howard's sad face.

I fully support leaning into this. It's such a ridiculous story.

100%. I genuinely can’t wait for this to lead to players just making up ridiculous stories to name drop a brand to get a deal. The content!

It will happen after the Illini lose a tournament game over it

A little fun fact for some unnecessary shade. In 3 of the 6 games Juwan has lost to Brad, Illinois was missing their PG (Ayo/Belo/Epps)

If Michigan suffered as much, why didn't Juwan have his typical meltdown and try to punch the refs??? If he were in Brad's shoes tonight he would have probably been arrested and carted off!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

If true, which I do not doubt at all, that is outrageous and yet further evidence of the largest and most obvious problem with this league.

It's true. A 10 minute review of the last shot.

No one going to talk about no Dain in 2nd half basically?

Interesting. Bruce probably should have fared better than he did.

What a game, not pretty but a win. I may have missed it, but I'm not clear why Danja wasn't in the game at the end at least for defense.

According to their mothers?

 

[IllGuardU]

loved the RJ 3, but loved the RJ tip to Rodgers for an easy basket even better. Winning play

Play of the game

 

[NarrowJ]

Don't want this guy to not get a shout out. Luke Goode played a very efficient 12 minutes with 4 pts 4 reb. Contributions from everyone.

It will happen after the Illini lose a tournament game over it

and then get used against the Illini in numerous games thereafter

It's confirmed. Tyler Underwood wears a wig.

Agree. It is one of the toughest calls to make real time. Did the ball hit the backboard first or did it get blocked off it? Was the ball still going up? Was the ball still on the rim/cylinder?

I think it is harder to call than block/charge

Coaches need challenges in the game and if you are wrong you lose your timeout but everything needs to be able to review

 

[Iamgroot]

Hell of a gutsy win by our Illini! Beating scUM when Dickinson clearly wanted it so bad...just too sweet

I love DD and think he will be an amazing player. But he has been struggling lately with ball handling and decision making. He had some nice minutes in the first half, but he is way too loose with the ball IMO. He also missed a wide open layup where he had a clear path to the basket, and I don't think he could have done nearly the job on Dickenson that CH did. CH was a beast tonight defensively despite HD's points scored. Dain also drops too far and gives up way too many easy 4-5 foot jumpers. Again, believe he will be a great player in the future but I understand BU's reluctance to have him in there.
