Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[GallopingGhost]

They will call it “a play on the ball” I’m sure

 

[foby]

hope it gets called a flagrant, have no faith these refs will

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

There are so many reasons we just cannot lose this one. Let’s go, boys.

 

[purcy51]

They better call it. And this will be the turning point

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I think he was legitimately going for the ball with his hand and elbowed him in the face. Not really a flagrant. IMO.

Edit: I’m wrong. Hand didn’t get as close to the ball as I thought.

 

[CogDog]

Absurd. Berry literally blocked Shannon’s face. Time to go on a run and crush these dorks.

 

[Illini2010-11]

That should be a no-brainer flagrant 1.

 

[CDRUSN]

They better review this and get the call right. If punching a player as hard as you can in the face is not an F2, then nothing is.

Doesn’t need to be intent to call a flagrant 1

By the rules, that is a flagrant.

 

[CentralILLini]

Not even close to a play on ball. Thats an ejection.

 

[GetAWin]

Crowd was chanting lock him up as he was laying there...I hate this

 

[ejam21]

Hummel has been off a few times tonight...berry not even close to the ball lol

 

[illinifreak30]

Stfu Hummel

 

[FloridaMan]

Hummel reeeaaaally pissing me off tonight. Just brutal.

 

[Dominant Erupt]

Robbie has had some horrendous takes calling this game

 

[mdsimon2]

Robbie Hummel hates the call? WTF?

 

[BBlock24]

What the heck is Hummel talking about. The defender should have to control his body when trying to block a shot

 

[LoveLovie]

Hummel with a shocker today

 

[Ramrod2010]

Bad take Hummel. You're wrong.

 

[spillini]

Robbie is nuts on this

 

[TheodoreRex]

I usually like Hummel, but he's an idiot tonight. Shut up dude

 

[jumpingjack]

Robbie can shove it.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Shut up Hummel

 

[theNewGuy]
