Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[jumpingjack]

Godawful officiating. MSU player puts half his foot out of bounds on the baseline and no whistle.
Only team stat that MSU leads in?
6-2 team fouls.

 

[zentrails]

Refereeing is hilarious
But that's ok

It's obviously MSU's only chance to win

 

[Jimbo]

Wish we ran more than 7 deep in this kind of game. Gonna get tired in the 2nd half.

Run a zone?

i know Wagler is damn good, but we’ve seen quite a but these past few weeks when teams get physical with him and body him up he really struggles when being guarded by a defender with size. I think he’s too small/frail for the NBA right now. He needs to add 15 lbs of muscle and get some size on him before he’ll be able to be effective in the NBA

Can we collectively stop acting shocked at the refs and foul discrepancy?

This was more predictable than the sunrise.

Andre has been fine. Just gotta hit shots and fight the enivitable home cooking. Wagler has been ok but below average but that isnt gonna stay that way.

There is a 10 second delay between the live stat update and TV. You know when someone scores and 10 seconds later you see it.

Good defense on the lobs .. even with the foul calls.

 

[LFOD]

Wagler needs a long range 3 to fall

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Who was a foul on on that play??? I seriously think high knees does it on purpose. We need. Stop calling him high knees and just call him ref. He obviously loves any attention he gets

Holy frak, they called them both on Z!!!! That's 2 on him!!!! Holy frakin hell

Watching Mirk and High Knees trot up the court side-by-side is…

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big 3 Ben! Let's go!

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Make Fears shoot

 

[ChiefGritty]

We gotta start making the extra pass, they're overplaying the initial action every time, skip passes etc are open.

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Losing this game on the D Glass.

 

[FloridaMan]

Tomi gotta wake the F up. Come on, grab the ball then stop watching when you miss it!!

 

[Jon]

Okay the ball was definitely off Tomi, and then a msu player "saved" it and threw it off Tomi

 

[Mr. Roberts]

As predicted, both centers with 2.

MSU outworking us on the boards and hustle plays right now and we are still up 4..
