Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[FloridaMan]

Total joke today by these refs and announcers.

 

[TheGMan]

that shot clock was at 0 for a hot minute no?

Yes

 

[bleedorange and blue]

How can these officials be so blatantly bad? 2 out 3 refs say illini ball. 1 standing by troll overturned? I'm running out of things to break

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

This is Tre and Bam's moment. Haven't been their best day, but we need their experience to carry us through this.

 

[Illinifan533]

At least the refs are calling fouls on them this half.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

we dont call over the backs on their end i see...he pushed morez in the back to get that tap in

He was also in the lane for about 8 seconds

 

[purcy51]

STOP THE PRESSES....they called a touch foul on MSU?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

The shot clock was at 0?

I saw that, too. Buzzer was a full second later.

Shameful.

 

[foby]

Whistle swallowed on MSU end

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

We have to drive the ball to the rim everytime now until they stop calling fouls. Everytime

 

[Oracle21]

DGL been huge this game!

Izzo has always known how to work the refs. He might be the best in the business.

When they build his statue in east lansing they’ll need to add a statue of a ref next to him.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Something is off, either the tv shot clock or the buzzer didnt sound.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I've said it before, when we don't dominate the boards, we struggle. Every loss has been a game in which we've been less than +7 in rebounding differential (I think we average +12).

We are only +2 in this one right now.

 

[Ramrod2010]

TV shot clock had a malfunction. I had to rewind and double check... There was still time on the clock above the hoop.

 

[Illini09]

The second KJ got 4 refs switched focus to WR

 

[derrick6]

Nah.

It was the ref underneath

 

[216superdude]

Wasn't it a shot clock violation before that first shot?

I thought the same thing

Shameful.

Got pushed down. HORRIBLE STUFF

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

So, if I’m scoring correctly at home, KJ has 4 fouls:
Touch foul
Touch foul
Guy steps on KJ’s foot, falls down, foul on KJ
Guy pushes KJ down fighting for a rebound, foul on KJ

Ridiculous ref job today.

We can all relate to how Brad’s feeling here

 

[maxatlof]

Wtf is Humrichous doing?? What purpose is he serving? He's added NOTHING to this game today. Play someone that's going to actually contribute

 

[theNewGuy]

please make refs available to media.
pleaseeee

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

TV shot clock had a malfunction. I had to rewind and double check... There was still time on the clock above the hoop.

It’s happened a couple times today. The CBS clock keeps expiring early

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I've seen hose jobs before and this may be the worst I've seen outside of the 04-05 title game
