Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[illinifan1987]

I watched the first half from my family room, which is also where I watched the Maryland game. I have now moved to the basement where I have watched every other recent win. I did my part, so now it's up to the guys on the floor.

Bounce pass!!!!!

 

[HailtotheChief]

That can't be our best offense running a set posting Ty vs a 7 footer!

 

[KingWolf11]

Ty's game is old school if he was a 5 as a starting 1 its quite something.

 

[JSpence]

What a clunker

 

[jumpingjack]

The moving screens are on my last ing nerve.

 

[illinifreak30]

Shannon almost brought the rim down

 

[FloridaMan]

The moving screens are on my last ing nerve.

I guarantee we get called for one before they do this half.

 

[illinifreak30]

wtf is Hummel looking at, that’s a clear foul on replay

 

[BBlock24]

Was that a clean block? Looked like he got his hand. This game is drunk.

 

[LvilleILL]

Does Nicholson have dirt on these refs? Good god

 

[skyIdub]

I'm not gonna say it. But we are all thinking it.


Edit: lol @LvilleILL said it for me

 

[Chillinini]

Refs showing their true colors.

 

[pruman91]

I thought calling timeout in the air going out of bounds was not allowed anymore????

 

[Jon]

We don't create turnovers and we're not putting pressure on shooters

 

[Grange Grover]

I don’t think it was to embarrass TJ, I think they both thought “I better not acknowledge this” and froze for a few seconds.

That’s fair. Hadn’t thought of that but I think that’s more plausible than the alternative.

 

[GallopingGhost]

If they (nW and refs) are trying to frustrate us, it seems to be working. This game is going to come down to the last posession

 

[ejam21]

Hummel is my guy but LOL at that clear hit on the hand being a clean block

 

[WyattEarp]

We all knew Northwestern was gonna show up tonight in their building with revenge on their minds. Just gotta weather it and punch back.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

They changed it back. Not sure why. Maybe Damonte hurt too many people.

 

[McGuppin]

I love CH, but could seriously do without the non-stop complaining to the refs.

 

[illiram]

to be fair the officiating is horrible both ways....the Big 18 has turned a blind eye

 

[stlrunner]

I love CH, but could seriously do without the non-stop complaining to the refs.

To be fair, he had a point on this one. But, I agree in general.

 

[blife]

What is going on between the ears tonight????

Yes! Thats our job,
