Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Zorak]

Someone convince me this game isn't over

 

[LouHenson]

This loss clearly is on the officials. There is nothing we could do in this game, they were going to determine the outcome.

 

[bjp84]

Need KJ in now or game will be over in 4 minutes. Good teams must overcome some bad calls. We’ll see what we’re made of.

 

[Julie Meinart]

There is no way they're going to let us win this game. Just like the 05 championship game.. it's just not going to happen. So the refs have nothing to be proud of.

We had a much better team than North Carolina back in '05. When the fix is in there's nothing you can do.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Just bring KJ back in and get whatever you can in the 45 seconds they allow him to play before foul 5

 

[Saturdaze]

It’s 4 against 5 both ends of floor with HUMRICHOUS in there. He’s not in foul trouble because he doesn’t do anything.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Our second worst weakness is defending the drive straight into us. Number one weakness is B10 officiating.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

There are billions of dollars in gambling. Sometimes it makes me go hhhhmmmmmmmmm.

Especially when the line moves so much so quickly.

 

[New Creation]

Gotta get KJ back in. We are about to get blown off the court with BAM leading us..

 

[illiniguy24]

I’ve just never seen home cooking like this. I’m livid

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Need to get KJ in before it’s too late.

Yep, of Brad was going to roll the dice that early in the second half, he's kind of forced to now.

 

[Jimbo]

A little surprised they didn’t call the charge on kj

 

[ginabackes00]

Boswell...if you're going to play hero ball, please take it to the basket to draw a foul

St this point, I'd respect the refs more if they had a bunch of money on this game. That's how awful they've been entirely in 1 direction

 

[illiniE]

Can’t believe they did not call a charge on KJ.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

What do you expect?? Lol. We've lost our best ball handlers and Boswell, who's only job right now is to get the team into some sort of set, isn't doing a great job.

Screens, cuts, practiced movements, players not standing around.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Not getting anything from Ben or Tre. Need them to step up.

Ben can't create and its clear they don't want him to get looks. Kylan needs to finish or hit 3s n Tommy too. They don't want Ben getting looks

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I get the whole force them into tough 2s but they are clearly getting to the paint. Maybe run them to the line a little bit.

 

[jacekpardol]

For as good as KB has been defensively.
His offensive efficieny is awful

 

[SuperMetroid]

Huh almost like having our best player available makes a difference

 

[WWWWRocU]

He doesn't want to ruin izzo's 70th birthday.

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

KJ will be Legendary even more if he can pull this off somehow!

 

[punchabove33]

30 seconds.

 

[sacraig]

We legitimately look better than MSU here. My confidence isn't shaken regardless of the outcome....

But man, I really want this game.

 

[ejam21]

what is izzo on about thats a clear travel
