Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[CleverHandle1]

These officials suck. Sorry, they do. Stop the turnovers, quit shooting rushed 3-pointers and stop dribbling into a double team.

Is it gonna be one of those years where b10 lets them beat each other up, and come tourney time everything is called?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Keep feeding Riley

especially when he's got a 6"3 guy checking him...

 

[CDRUSN]

We turned in for a basketball game, and a wrestling match broke out. OK then, let's just pin our opponents.

Keep feeding Riley

tomi had a defender tackle him last time he posted & KJ got an obvious high sticking.

Thank god they let Riley play basketball...just in time for another media timeout.

Refs have 10 pm dinner reservations…

 

[UCantHideYer]

I miss Ty. Glad he seems engaged.

Maybe we can get on the Power Play here and get the offense going.

Great hockey game so far.

Let's figure out a way to get some looks from the 3-point line.

 

[Coop70]

You can plan on certain variables coming into play in every game. B10 officials NOT calling fouls ain't one.

 

[Illini-Rule]

What kind of a crowd do we have for the Illini? The camera crew not showing any Illini fans.

 

[FloridaMan]

I see they are letting NW set moving screens on literally every offensive possession, so there's that.

 

[eas23]

I know they don't play the same role, but notable that Jake Davis has passed Carey Booth in the rotation.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

All of a sudden, we have whistles.

 

[Jon]

Refs got a call down from the league office lol

 

[TheodoreRex]

Not that we are a soft team, but the officials letting this type of game happen is a major gift to Northwestern. Our athletes and skilled players thrive off freedom of movement and a faster paced game. We gotta speed up the pace of the game. (leave it to Big Ten officials to completely pivot and start calling ticky tack crap that doesn't matter).

 

[NarrowJ]

Meh now everything is a foul

 

[madillini4]

Textbook defense

 

[biglug58]

All hair team looking great!

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Wow...crazy call on Boz.

 

[skyIdub]

Jfc...here we go. I might have to turn it off.

 

[Epsilon]

Bs foul

 

[FloridaMan]

Refs making the game unwatchable. Sadly typical

 

[LoveLovie]

Reffing completely different now
