Game Thread: Illinois at Michigan State

[Calvin]

I think I speak for the entire board when I say the announcer is terrible. He sides with the officials no matter what transpired, no matter the missed call.

 

[SCottm]

Refs decided O.T.

 

[Epsilon]

SMH

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

This is just f’ing ridiculous. 50+ years watching basketball and I’ve never seen anything like this.

 

[champaignpak]

the ref ball has been hideous

 

[Naborman88]

No box out

 

[Keisersose]

Refs bail out fears. Bogus

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

How does no one box out on that play?

 

[New Creation]

I guess the front office said don't let the illini win... call everything on them..

 

[Mistakenj]

This is disgusting

 

[Illini1977]

Tough loss

 

[punchabove33]

Was not touch the last two times

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Again, he is not biased. Listen to the radio call if you want something more pro-Illini.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Refs stole it, but terrible rebounding left it out for them to steal

 

[DeeIL89]

This is why you need to win the battle on the glass against Michigan State. Not great on that front tonight.

 

[illiniguy24]

Unreal whistle this overtime

 

[CentralILLini]

Go to bed

 

[Frank]

Has a coach ever just witnessed a game being called so horribly that they bring the team in for a timeout and instead have the whole team leave the arena? Thats how I feel about these MSU games the last several years. It’s so bad it’s worth considering a nuclear option.

 

[ChiTown]

This got to be one of our worst rebounding game.

 

[New Creation]

This isn't even fun watching with these refs

 

[FoundersClub]

Wagler now 1-15 from the field

 

[Illk8]

This one was given to MSU.

Totally. We're the better team, no matter how it ends up.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Just awful to have these OT calls be so bad. The B1G refs ruin another game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I knew it when I saw the crew. Well, the Michigan game is the important one. Tom Izzo needs to be retired.

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

We keep fouling him, though. Fears absolutely picking us apart and Wagler playing like trash
