Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[azillini1]

We would be down double digits if not for Mirk

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

These announcers are as bad as I've heard all year.

Michigan vs MSU
Nebraska vs Iowa

Playing MD, we got the B team.

 

[Keisersose]

2 successful challenges and a successful appeal.

Mirk layup!!!

 

[illiniguy24]

Omg a BLOB play that we executed!!

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Mirk you beauty. One stop and board here c'mon boys!

 

[jumpingjack]

MIRK

 

[Retro62]

Down to needing one stop—again.

 

[Bigtex]

Best inbound play of the year

 

[Illini_Jack]

Mirk!

 

[Battle89]

Terrible job by Brad. Why did he wait so long to put Bam back in?

Four fouls

Or saving him for OT

 

[DB11Headband]

Gaudin and Smith have been HILARIOUSLY bad on the broadcast

 

[ejam21]

Dang buzz might’ve cost them a 3 with that timeout call

 

[Kernal12]

Z hasn’t been timing his blocks at all this game.

 

[Ramrod2010]

That's actually a terrible call. Totally unclear who it was off of, should not overturn the call on the floor.

The tournament is going to be a refs-at-monitors nightmare

Kind of agree and disagree.

Was it clear? No.

Does it make sense given what could be seen? Yes.

I think most of us could tell it was off of Watts’ hand.

Edit: and I’m watching on a crappy hotel tv!

They are laughably bad…Smith says things that lead me to believe he’s not watched much basketball this season…

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Wagler gets mugged then they call that for Mills?

 

[FloridaMan]

Brad, is it too much to ask to get Petro some run here up 4?? /s

 

[SuperMetroid]

These announcers are as bad as I've heard all year.

The Steve Smith Experience

 

[Trueblue777]

Was hoping we would get things turned around today and get back in January form. didn’t happen….

 

[HailtotheChief]

About time! Mirk driving to the rim!

I know Lee doesnt play much and im not saying play him but given our struggles for one possession on D given that no one has stopped them why not consider it on D

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Maryland took far too much time off this possession.

 

[Ramrod2010]

What a neat graphic, FOX...

 

[Champaign88]

That's actually a terrible call. Totally unclear who it was off of, should not overturn the call on the floor.

It was pretty obvious when Ben is trying to grab the ball and the ball violently ricochets in the direction that the Maryland player’s hand was going.

Great job defending that OOB. Perfect job and great rebound
