Game Thread: Illinois at Iowa

[New Creation]

I’m at the game. I don’t complain about the refs often but I can tell you…….if we lose it is solely on the refs.

And CH

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Fun game to watch.

For real. I’d rather play this style than Wisconsin any day.

 

[Illynois]

Dain's gotta make at least one of these..

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Fouls are 19 to 19. Been some bad ones both ways. Their guys are making FTs at an absurd rate and that is killing us (along with Perkins shooting and Hawkins everything)

Would like to agree but can’t. They have impacted for sure. But that lousy end of the half, the inability to break the press, the passes to the other team. Just horrible basketball IQ at times.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

38 fouls, 43 free throws. Big Ten Zebraball.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Fun game to watch.

This might just be the worst half of basketball I’ve ever had the displeasure to watch.

Which way, Western man?

 

[Dragons89]

Call the game consistently all the way. They came out looking to call the second half different than the first.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Courtney Green per the usual just deciding he's bigger than the game. Happens pretty much every time he's on the floor. Whistle happy, inconsistent, and overly influenced by the crowd/coach

 

[DeonThomas]

Luke may be forced to play late in the game --- due to players fouling out.

 

[Champaign88]

The refs have been bad but we have not adjusted. Not letting contact go like a normal B1G game but you have to adjust. Some of the fouls have been just boneheaded.

 

[FromTheLogo]

0-6, 5-8 from line, 3 turnovers. Hawkins is gonna be the reason we lose today, imo.

He has complained about the refs, complained about Iowa, and even complained about his own teammate (when Dane intercepted that pass). There is no mental focus unfortunately.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Underwood has the face of a coach that thinks this is a Loss.

 

[New Creation]

Come on DD. You have to make these

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This. Have to adjust.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Good idea, let's foul Perkins.

 

[SaintLIllini]

stop foulin

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Mayer, Shannon and Dainja all with 4 fouls. That ain't great.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Dainja was straight up. Perkins lunged into him. Awful foul call

 

[FromTheLogo]

The Europeans make get playing time cuz we'll be out of players.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

TSJ has been really bad defensively today oof

 

[hoopsfan47]

Both teams have made threes and Illini have outshot them by 3 deuces. Illini winning the boards and Hawks winning TOs by 14-7. Free Throws deserve no comment.

[IlliniForceOne]

Perkins is leaping into our guys chest.

 

[WWWWRocU]

And Perkins will get the ball and drive on every play the rest of the game.

Yep! You called it! Just happened.
