Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Stirtz massive pushoff

He committed is 3rd foul twice. Love this start tho, get up 5 and make this Iowa team nervous! They won't shoot like this forever

 

[NarrowJ]

That’s absolute bull

You can’t just push a defender in the chest (and no, they didn’t miss it… chose not to call it… Stirtz has 2 so gotta keep the star in the game for ratings)

 

[abchew2]

So I guess there are B1G refs not in the B1G after all

 

[chrisRunner7]

So that’s not a foul but Kylans poke away was…?

One of the things I wish they would fix in college basketball is how it turns into college football once the ball handler is on the floor. Refs allow almost any contact and the players know it.

Stirtz massive pushoff

Left arm to the chest and then fully extended, but no call. Dude gets star treatment playing against the best player on the floor. Make it make sense.

 

[…INI!]

Raked across Wagler’s arm.

 

[CDRUSN]

There isn't this much standing around at a slow line at the DMV. Can we please move, pass, and find an open shooter?

 

[FoundersClub]

Raked across Wagler’s arm.

Before or after the choke hold?

 

[DeeIL89]

Don't care how we win. Just win please.

Illini playing to their identity...rebounding and kill them at the FT line. Iowa, however, is killing us at the arc. It all adds up to a one pt. lead.

 

[AnnaMay]

Once again, no idea what is and isn't a foul. Call soft bumps, but not calling muggings.

Be tough. Play through the contact. Don’t expect a whistle.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why did we only focus on the refs?

 

[One Man Fast Break]

This would be a great time to get hot from three.

 

[jumpingjack]

Good God I hate Iowa

 

[TheChief4Life]

Gotta get buckets…

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Be tough. Play through the contact. Don’t expect a whistle.

This.

 

[BBlock24]

Stop forcing it into traffic. Its not working.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

A lot of offensive rebounds but not getting the put backs. Way too many turnovers. Running right into the defense is a bad strategy.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Missing so many Fing layups

BALL DONT LIE

 

[Miles Leonard]

Hero ball is not gonna work guys. Move the ball like you did to start the half!

 

[Champaign88]

Andrej has to pick his spots better. How many times is he going to get ripped?

 

[DICKnaggie]

What has happened to the offense. No one is moving off ball at all. Couldn't be easier to defend.
