Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[IlliniBorn]

7 fouls vs 2 for them already.

Why cant we get that at home?

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Melendez doing some stuff out there.

 

[altgeld88]

Omar and RJ on opposite ends of that gem!

 

[InDaAZ]

BU’s fashion today looks like everyone’s aunt…

 

[IlliniReb]

Color me as an RJ admirer....can't remember a game where he has not been a plus contributor...and yet he sits and watches. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All I can figure is I must me a dolt who has never played or seen a basketball game.

Been reported that he has been either injured or ill the last couple of weeks. I can’t find the post but it was on I L

 

[skyIdub]

I'm just going to b#tch about it now so it's not sour grapes after a loss....this officiating in the B1G is absolutely an abomination.

Watched the MSU/scUM game and felt the same way.

7 fouls to 2 in the first 11 minutes. We don't press.....and we are not the only physical team in the B1G.

It's a joke.

He’s great on offensive. He’s looked lost a bit defensively, NW just hasn’t made him pay.

RJ to wr?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Seems to me it should be NU ball with 2 on the shot clock.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Is that the first mistake Goode has made this month?

And probably why we’re seeing RJ with some time so early.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So thy get a 37 second shot clock.

 

[hoopsfan47]

I like this lineup with Cohawk and RJ along with Trent, JG, and Kofi.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

FTA - 7 to 0.

 

[SouthFarmLlama]

BALL DONT LIE!!!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Man. Imagine Melendez in 2 years. I love his aggression. Knows what he wants to do.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Foul or no foul that's an example of why Hawk doesn't play as much as his talent should allow him to.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

So Bardo said that wasn't a foul by CoHawk. But he hates us, right? What is he playing at here?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Refs keeping them in this for some reason

 

[D1959]

What is RJ’s vertical? Appears to be very good

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Thanks for the call. Sheesh.

 

[hoopsfan47]

What is RJ’s vertical? Appears to be very good

Pretty sure higher than mine.

 

[thehass]

Far from a stellar performance. We could be up by plenty....but

 

[sacraig]

Did Kofi just do that?

 

[altgeld88]

lol Kofi

 

[Illini_Jack]

I knew Kofi would hit that fadeaway jumper the whole time
