[Sim]

This is some crazy s—-t.

How does this even happen lol

It happened within the last month or so at an NBA game in Detroit.

Well maybe.

 

[CentralILLini]

Ok boys, reset.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Who ever thought is was a good idea to have a battery back up in the horn was mistaken

 

[From the cheap seats]

It’s what happens when you unceremoniously eliminate the home team Houston’s version of the meteorite.

No assists for us so far which is really different than last few games. The ball is not moving well for us yet

Yes, Iowa is overplaying the reversal (strong side pass). Hence 4 baskets off of the dribble and 3 off of offensive rebounds. Andrej, Mirk and Keaton will keep putting the ball on the floor and go to the hoop. One would think that if Iowa continues to overplay, Kylan will get to the basket as well.

Let the teams go to the locker room and then have a 5 min shoot around or something when it gets fixed ?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Had this happen once in high school. We shut off the scoreboard. Took 2 minutes.

 

[freddbird]

Is this the best engineering Rice University can provide?

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Good to see Boz shooting free throws!

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

this really helps us more than them , correct

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Also, any people in the arena reporting on crowd split? At first I thought more Iowa since they were so loud in pregame, but then it looked like a true Braggin’ Rights split and then I just saw an angle that made it look like there were significantly more Illini fans.

 

[FloorGeneral]

Let's take the lead and not look back. Can't let Iowa play with a lead. Need Tomi and Mirk to wake up a little and settle in.

 

[whatahack]

Wait, they unplugged the horn and it's still going???

It's like a smoke alarm in the middle of the night

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Hopefully that break in action cools them off and throws off their rhythm hahaha

 

[FoundersClub]

We are going to shoot some FTs this half and need to knock them down

 

[Juju]

The horn is the rain delay for us just like the Cubs needed in 2016.

I was JUST about to say this! It's fate.

 

[Illini_Jack]

THE HORN STOPPED!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I’ve never ever seen this in over 60 years of watching ball.

2nd time in about a month I've seen it.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

The Horn is stuck on, lol. I have to imagine this helps Illinois, honestly.

No, gives Stirtz (plays 40 minutes) a rest.

Listening to Brian and Deon on the Varsity app. I joked that they should make everyone get out of the stadium and come back in and Brian makes the IT Guy joke a half a second later.
