Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[SuperMetroid]

Morez gets the weakest crap calls against him

 

[Keisersose]

So no Tomi and Rez on foul trouble. Will be interesting to see what we do.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Not really sure what else MJ could do there. Looked like he was just standing there with his hands up.

 

[NashvILLe05]

Morez is clearly fouling. Stop walking into the guy while he’s shooting!! It doesn’t matter if your arms are straight in the air.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

2 fouls on Morez early extremely not ideal and both are on him. Needs to stop jumping into and moving into shooters. Just stand tall- you've already forced them into a tough shot, no need for that extra step.

Well maybe Brad should have reminded this team who the refs are. We are now at 4 fouls, 4 minutes into the game with Morez at 2…

This refs are consistent with blowing every touch foul against the Illini.

 

[DeeIL89]

Got to be more aware with rebounding.

Pretty sure I saw Toni at end of bench . Why wouldn’t you leave him back in Champaign to rest if he’s getting over mono??? WTH.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

I don't think either of those Morez fouls would have been called vs. Northwestern the other day. Just no consistency.

As much as we're supposed to dislike Nebraska, I still love the ad they run with the Johnny Carson voiceover.

 

[Fighting I 95]

That was just terrible Morez. You have to have more awareness and self control. Now you’re on the bench until halftime.

He was standing with his hands straight up. Same as the first crap foul they called on him. He get singled out in every game it feels like.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Hard to lean on freshmen. He has to be smarter. He's got the rest of the half to think about it.

 

[SweetLuh]

That was just terrible Morez. You have to have more awareness and self control. Now you’re on the bench until halftime.

This is such a lazy response. He’s straight up. Should he just let a big score the next 9 minutes when he’s one on one?

 

[ChiTown]

Here we go again refs are going to determine the outcome of this game.

 

[TheGMan]

MJ definitely fouled on the second one

 

[kyillinifan]

The refs getting involved.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

I don't think either of those Morez fouls would have been called vs. Northwestern the other day. Just no consistency.

That’s my biggest gripe

 

[Iamgroot]

Anybody else worried about how Davis sets picks?looks like he hasn't ever set pick in his life

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Then we should take it to the rim, get fouled and make them this time. It's really not hard to adjust.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Heck of the board by DGL

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

lol it’s not the refs …lmfaooo

 

[CDRUSN]

Essigian is their new Tominaga. That dude killed us with made 3s when he was there.

Is sitting in a chair watching basketball that exacting?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That second was a horrible call, yet again for Morez.

Morez has been called for some ridiculous stuff this year, but both were deserved tonight. He jumped into the shooter on the first, and stepped into shooter on the 2nd. Can't do that. Both were freshman fouls that you grow out of sophomore year

MJ definitely fouled on the second one

Needed to put his arms up straight.
