Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[WhiteHorseWings]

What a game

 

[the national]

These refs are really grinding my gears.

 

[Champaign88]

Put in Ty for defense?

Why are we so stubborn on defense? Do not switch TSJ off Buie due to a weak screen.

 

[skyIdub]

Man I hope they don't get the last possession with a chance to win. Boo is on.

 

[Illiniam1984]

dude harmon did NOT foul barnhizer there. the ball was already out of bounds.

how many bailouts are they gonna get lol

This is the refs tonight.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

wow, what a game. NW playing their best and we are playing ok. We are in a coin flip game right now

 

[GallopingGhost]

I don’t think we can complain about refs much that game

 

[grantlab]

This must’ve been what FAU felt like

 

[IlliniTilDeath]

Why are we not fighting through the screens and just letting NU get the matchups they want with booie

Legit. They just get the switch right away and then Buie abuses someone

 

[HailtotheChief]

Every foul is 2 shots for us and Domask is a great FT shooter and making good plays. Can he touch the ball next trip?

 

[Retro62]

I don’t like to complain about refs…but wtf?

 

[TyKFactus]

It’s rough. They knew from the jump they could be more physical because they wouldn’t call it.

 

[hoopsfan47]

NW shooting like the Illini in their first match...but the Illini are punching back hard in spite of so many bad calls against them. Great learning experience...and our guys deserve to win this one. But will they?

 

[Chad Fleck]

I think Rodgers needs to be in for Goode. He's a better guy to guard Buie.

 

[blife]

Time to step up the D. And please keep Luke off the switches on BB.

 

[azillini1]

MD and Goode are too slow to guard BB

 

[BBlock24]

They cannot score at the rim.

 

[FloridaMan]

Layups losing us this game tonight.

 

[New Creation]

We can’t make a layup… Gesh

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Bunnies, man… bunnies.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Fing layups will not go in

 

[JSpence]

Damn, wow. Gotta get a lead to get free throws, let's go

 

[the national]

Smart play by Hawkins. Attack while you can.

 

[hoopsfan47]

CH and Q with double-double

 

[TheodoreRex]

how many missed layups?????
