Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[FloridaMan]

Refs leaving a LOT to be desired in this one. Disappointing at this point in the season.

And Ben does not belong on the floor in this game.

GET BEN OUT OF THERE

 

[Illiniguy13]

Ben needs to sit

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Big East never changes. Foul repeatedly and hope they don't call them all.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Oh man hope KJ isn't concussed. His head bounced off the floor

I dont think his head hit, but his neck really snapped back hard

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Man oh man do the refs just allow Xavier to travel. He was moving well before he dribbled there

 

[NarrowJ]

Timeout after a made basket, thought that wasn't allowed lol

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Damn Ben…

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Kj getting mugged… Jesus

 

[PopChampaign]

need to crush their spirit, they have too much hope

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Will has been mugged 2 drives in a row. Glad Kylan knocked the 1 down.

 

[Ryllini]

Where is coach Lou Brown. I’m done with Ben’s oley bull!!!! on defense.

 

[DeeIL89]

WTF Ben?

 

[cs04]

sophomore Rez could be an absolute terror assuming he cuts down on the expected freshman fouls

 

[Fighting I 95]

That was a travel

 

[illiniCA]

the are clearly trying to not let us get set on defense. Get back and dont play soft d

 

[kyillinifan]

Refs missed that one on KJ. Should have been a foul.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Humichrous can’t defend anything

 

[WyattEarp]

Freshman foul by Morez there.

Footwork…opens the gate too much/doesn’t stay squared enough.
He’s such a talent tho.

Let Riley play it out

 

[OB positive]

Man, Xavier walks every other time they have the ball, but no calls.

 

[Epsilon]

KJ been getting mugged all game

He does kind of invite it sometimes though when he dribbles too much. They’re gonna double him every time he backs himself to a baseline.
