Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[jumpingjack]

Sencire should've gotten credit for that last rebound. Gorgeous box out vs Scott, I think.
And nearly forced the turnover to CoHawk earlier in the possession.

People can say don't complain about the refs, but here's the thing, when they are not calling things consistently and it is entirely to the favor of one team with some egregious calls mixed in they deserve to be booed. This crew has been awful. No consistency to their calls whatsoever

The second half the refs have sucked.

Last game, i believe. He came in this game but had a very visible limp

I started watching about 15 minutes in so didn’t see that, he’s on the court now. Underwood’s latest interview he said he was good to go so I went off that

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Well gotta give Maryland credit for that flop. Didn't convince the ref right on top of the play, but did convince the ref 50ft away. So well done.

Ref show.

I disagree, they have been consistently favoring Maryland

 

[Ryllini]

Dain extended the arm, but Scott was definitely handsy there. My take in real time.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

All the fouls are in the open court. War underneath with no calls.

Welcome to the big ten.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Flop

 

[1970 John]

Cracking me up. Refs have been fine. Sure some missed calls but letting both teams bang. Illini’s problem has been they can’t stop reaching in.

Underwood disagrees.

 

[ThetaDragons]

Far too many freshman/ first year moments tonight.

That’s all it is

 

[illini0440]

Scott has gotten everything he’s wanted tonight….I’m terms of the refs

 

[Chillinini]

Typical big 10 refs. No consistency for team to team. Definitely favoring the home team.

But then again, it’s been like this for years and years. Have to deal with it and battle. Just don’t be reckless. Play hard and smart.

 

[eas23]

It's honestly kind of incredible this game is in reach. We're playing poorly AND getting no breaks. Let's put a good quarter together and steal this thing.

 

[stlrunner]

I hate complaining about the refs, but…they sure are making it hard not to. They’ve been pretty bad.

 

[Illini8420]

Refs have gifted them about a +20 point differential by my estimate

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Big Ten on the road. Hasnt changed a bit

 

[Scoregasm]

Refs making sure we have no shot here.

 

[grantlab]

TSJ time. Dude’s a warrior. Let’s go.

I think you need to get your EyeoftheIllini checked.

 

[21ChampaignSt]

That was a very emphatic charge call by that ref. It's almost like he's gotten caught up in the atmosphere

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

 

[SescIllini]

Seeing some growth/grit from several players. Need Sincere and Goode for these type games

 

[FromTheLogo]

In Illinois fan should have threw a soft pretzel on the floor while tsj was getting his eye tended to.

 

[PNWIllini]

How do you not call a foul on that

 

[jumpingjack]

What. The. !!!!.
