Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Second place is 1st loser]

So the announcers talk all game and go totally silent when the crowd is chanting No means No to TJ….total BS

1)Do you think that the announcers really put any thought into that?

2)This is going to be the case with TJ for the rest of the game on the road. Have to deal with it.

A lot of nervous energy. I can feel it through my tv…or maybe it’s me

Hope TJ gets one of his breakaways and breaks the rim in front of their faces

Staff needs to be all over these refs on the hip check "screens." Every. Single. Time.

They wont do a thing about it. NW gets away with it and no other team does, im not sure why

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

If I’m being honest with myself, I’m probably not reading case files on an opponent charged with rape to ensure “chant accuracy” … but it’s almost comical to chant “no means no” in a case that literally doesn’t claim anyone ever said or indicated “no” in any way.

Deep breaths, boys. You have a lot of Illini fans in the building who will get just as loud as they haters if you give them a reason to cheer!!

 

[Illini-Rule]

Maybe it's the camera angle, but I'm not seeing much orange in the stands.

 

[Illini89]

Let Shannon run the point

Pizza is right on....too many little blunders can fill a big L in the right column. No flow to the offense and no momentum. Don't have to hurry...just make the right plays and finish.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Can we at least get a shot up. Wtf are we doing sometime.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Just need a W. I don’t care how close or ugly it gets. They need to taste a road win with Shannon.

 

[McGuppin]

Some sloppy and rushed play, but love the way we're rebounding....Ty with 6 already. Strong.

 

[pruman91]

we are playing a step to fast.....need to settle down and play our game...........

They get a message to be respectful and all you heard when TSJ was shooting FT's was No means no.........

 

[so illini]

NU wearing WNBA uniforms this evening I see

Or Harlem Globetrotters

 

[Miles Leonard]

Why from there, Coleman? Take a step or two before you shoot that.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Our opponents will be fine if Ty is one of the two guys taking the most of our shots. Id rather it be TSJ, Domask but not Ty.

Hawkins dumb nba 3

 

[jacekpardol]

Just spoke to Aleks Alston. He would not confirm to me what school he was rooting for. Am I now an insider?

 

[skyIdub]

Wow these refs are bad.

 

[curtmoss]

Those NU screen are MOVING almost every time. I do not understand how the referees continue to allow it. They either hip check or rotate into the defense. It needs to stop.

 

[IlliniKat91]

We need to start hitting the front ends. We're about to be in bonus and waste it

 

[OB positive]

Nicholson should already be fouled out.

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

Wow these refs are bad.

That missed goal tend went our way

 

[foby]

if they review the block, points will be added
