Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Chase321]

I mean, for good reason … lol. We’re begging Minnesota to rise up and steal this one.

To be fair, Minnesota looks pretty good.

 

[punchabove33]

Mirk has the one of the ugliest shot I seen.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Ugh 3 empty possessions let em back in. 2 TOs by Z and Mirk and a missed front end. I hope that doesnt bite us in the !!!.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Should've been a foul on stojakovic.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

They legitimately need to replace whomever is handling the scoreboard.

And he walked there

 

[UCantHideYer]

Tyson gets six steps earlier & now this. Career in travel agency in his future.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Can’t put these guys away

 

[Epsilon]

Surprised the starters are still out. Most, outside of KW, are listless.

Beginning to wonder if that flu bug is just starting to make its way through the team now.

 

[BoiseBaller]

How is that not a travel? Guy fell down ffs.

Seriously, Josh and Brad need to rip the B1G office a new a$$. The officiating in this league is absolute trash.

 

[derrick6]

lol shocking a player goes to the floor with the ball and get a TO instead of a tie up... unfortunately its the Goofers

And no travel call like they do on Z. He had complete possession and fell flat. No travel.

 

[Clngpl94]

The Big Ten has got to do something about these lousy officials... doesn't matter the team or sport. They're consistently inconsistent...SMH

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

How was that not a walk?

They only call it against Z

 

[CDRUSN]

We're getting our Mirk's worth today. He and especially the game's MVP Big Z are keeping us in this one today. Our guard play has mostly been less than average from what we have come to expect.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Z falls with the ball, travel. Cade Tyson falls with the ball… gets to call timeout. Why?

I have a hard time believing Joe Schmo referee is star struck by Minnesota Basketball more than Illini Basketball, lol … I think they’re just THAT incompetent, and we naturally notice the calls against us more.

Either way, more should be done by the league.

 

[azillini1]

We are still shooting poorly… 40% for the game

 

[thehass]

The movement on offense from most of the teams we have played compared to ours is like night and day.

 

[JJE]

Can I just say I absolutely hate this new thing we’ve been doing lately, rolling the ball up the floor nonchalantly when we have a lead. It makes zero sense not to burn some clock. It leaves the door wide open for turnover.

 

[Epsilon]

Come on let’s finally put this away.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh my god the clutch threes this half!

 

[Ramrod2010]

I miss the "Thaaat's aaaa threeeee, [insert player name]"

 

[derrick6]

Wagler on Wagler Time.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Wagler NBA bound.

 

[PapaKvells]

Shouldn’t be a new shot clock!

 

[BDMAN]

Finally now lets keep them double digits behind!!!

 

[biglug58]

Hey listen, the crowd!
