Illinois 81, Texas Tech 77 Postgame

[Witherspoon_illini]

That flagrant call at the end is one the worst calls I’ve seen

 

[IceCuban]

With all the betting issues going on around the sports world, it's a valid concern

 

[WizardBill]

Can someone post the play that the ref's blew? I did not get to see the game.

Insane flagrant on Bam

Still kept their cool. ILL

A lot of things are looking good obviously, but the ease with which Stojakovic is able to finish through contact against a high major opponent might be the most important revelation here. Remember all the missed layups of years past?

“stojakovic is unplayable”

Big home win early in the season. Very excited to see this team mature with better health. This win will look very good in March.

My only gripe tonight was the flagrant on Boswell. Are you not allowed a take foul anymore? Nothing seemed flagrant at all, and it could have turned the game, had there not been a huge block by Stojakovic.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

That flagrant-1 call was pure nonsense

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

Not even full strength and we got that win and those performances? Holy moly time to get on the hype train.

Yeah and Mirk was in la-la land by the crowd…lol

This is already locked into Loyalty Lore now

He fed the online stereotype of overreacting to the last game. But now everyone else is feeding the stereotype of overreacting to the overreaction

 

[ChiTown]

I guess that Andrej kid is kind of good

It seems like our NIL investment in already paying off….

 

[RML]

Is an intentional foul a flagrant 1? The foul was intentional: might have gotten him for the left arm coming around the other side. But no, it wasn't a rough foul.

That flagrant is the worst call I've ever seen in my life.

Tip of the hat to Brad (or whatever coach) made the decision to get Kylan on Toppin. Totally changed his rhythm and then when he started getting doubled it took him some time to work through it.

That’s elite level coaching.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

That flagrant call was so bewilderingly bad, and I don’t even care … and that feels great! Let’s get as healthy as we can, pack the UC and give ‘Bama everything we’ve got.

Rivals the Melendez rim job

 

[ginabackes00]

We are in for a fun ride. We have some things to work on, but this team has serious talent.

That flagrant is the worst call I've ever seen in my life.

That was some absolutely shady !!!!

you can take a foul, but it MUST be a basketball play. Boz could have been way more violent and went with a chop across the arm in an “attempt to steal the ball” and would have been totally fine. You just cannot “intentionally foul” in college basketball. It’s a gay rule for sure.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We might be...kinda good?
