I'll be there rooting on our Illini!

(I'm trying to forget we're on the road & Sparty is #1/2 in the country)

This is not a game to watch with any expectation of a win, this is a game to see how hard our guys will fight against an NCAA Championship contender.

Nice that we are still in this one. I think we'll be in it for about 34 more minutes.

Yes a win would be great, but I am rooting for at the very least "good and honorable death"

Bridges is so good .

 

[sully]

the future is bright with Frazier

 

[Rad]

what was the call on the baseline against Frazier to give the ball to MSU?

I couldn't figure that one out either

 

[Deleted member 4960]

No Finke?

 

[Dayman]

Maybe he ran out of bounds and was next to touch the ball

 

[LBZ]

No Finke?

Nope.

 

[IlliniFan85]

I had my wife watch it multiple times and she couldn't figure it out either. And of course announcers care more about bragging up Michigan State than doing play by play.

 

[Spoon House]

Apparently he didn't establish?

 

[Sizzler22]

Only team in the big ten that can't make layups

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Leron has to be smarter than that

 

[Rad]

poor sequence there for Frazier

 

[LBZ]

Only team in the big ten that can't make layups

Watch more games & more leagues, plenty missing lay ups. Watched Trae Young miss one last night against Kansas. Only mentioning T.Y. as he was quite possibly the Freshman of the year a month ago.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We are awful at finishing at the basket.

 

[Rad]

Think you are right. Never seen that called like that.

 

[Spoon House]

I am so tired of hearing Barnhart say "layup -- miss."

I watch plenty of college basketball.....and you said he missed one. This team just missed 5 in a row.

I watched replay many times. He didn't get the ball until out at 3 point line near where Izzo stands.

Coaching problem, right???
