Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[The Galloping Ghost]

The pick and roll between KJ and Tomi is deadly.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Like that first possession

 

[New Creation]

Best way to start! Tomi Slam!

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

WHAT IS THAT FOUL???

 

[FloridaMan]

Late whistle from half court. Lovely

 

[FoundersClub]

I hate the ‘wait to see if it goes in’ before blowing the whistle

 

[BBlock24]

Why do they wait to see if the ball goes in before they blow the whistle?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That certainly looked like a foul, but I don't get the waiting 2 seconds until the ball hits the ground and Illinois gets the rebound to call it. Big 1st foul on KJ

 

[Jon]

Great start for Ben

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great start for Ben

 

[New Creation]

Me. Like. This. Ben

 

[FoundersClub]

If we get a Ben game we are going to be hard to beat.

 

[BBlock24]

That’s two on KJ already.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

This game gets the #6 broadcast crew from CBS?

Don't know if I'd go that far. You'll see a lot of mix and match with CBS this time of year. Most of the actual top crews won't be paired together for a couple more weeks.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

2 Fuuls on KJ

 

[spillini]

Tacky

 

[New Creation]

That is BAD.. #2 on KJ....We need Riley to have a BIG game today.. Off to a great start with the and 1 !

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh my gosh, 2 on KJ

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Flippin' refs at MSU. Never changes

 

[SuperMetroid]

2 bull!!!! calls on KJ

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Brutal losing our best player 3 min into the game.

 

[LouHenson]

It is like the officials just wanted to determine this game. 2 very soft fouls on Kj right on cue

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Oof. Johnson has terrible hands.

 

[FoundersClub]

Think we see KJ again this half?

 

[FloridaMan]

Brutal losing our best player 3 min into the game.

What you mean? Everybody wants to see the refs mack ticky tack calls. Who wants to see the best players in the league decide games? /s
