Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Refs need to keep it within 8.5, December bills to pay

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Nobody That Has A Career Night Versus Illinois.

I don't love that this dude is having a career night and we are leaving him to double Martinelli... Somebody on staff has to change that gameplan...

 

[DeeIL89]

I don't care how we win. Just win this stupid game and break the losing streak. Can't deal with another lost at that place where bs occurred within the game.

 

[Iamgroot]

O wow it is possible for these a$$of a so called refs can actually call a foul against northwestern

 

[SprintingShellyClark]

The amount I love having Jake Davis on the court for this team isn’t right for a heterosexual male. Recognized and pointed out the mismatch Tomi had. Just so additive in his minutes.

EVERY game. Its a massive scouting error ALWAYS.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Old school reffing where they use single syllable color labels....white, blue, red, green typically.

As ridiculous as it is.

You can say orange as one syllable...Just saying.

If Jake Reed lives to be 1000 he will never have a game like this again, unreal

"The Illinois effect"

 

[fantasydaily708]

Gotta get the Reed kid under wraps and they will win the game. Offensive rebounding and making free throws are a must to win

 

[HailtotheChief]

We are nit allowed to defend as physical as they are and its bogus!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great job there to get it into Tomi with the 6-2 guy on him

Good last minute for Tomi. Gotta keep pushing here.

 

[BTM33]

The officiating makes the games unwatchable... its sucks all the energy and fun out of the games...

 

[KCBassin]

Not shocking to see the refs being a story with Kelly and dj dread watching any game with them on the court

Carstensen looks like the love child of Uncle Fester and Lurch.

 

[DeeIL89]

I swear the Big Ten needs to start giving a damn about their officiating. You are putting a bad product on the floor!

He’s right, our colors were maroon and 95% of time it was “red ball”, they call purple “blue” too haha

 

[Joel Goodson]

anyone got a haiku on Big Ten refs?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Uh, Brad you might want to have someone guard that pipsqueak.

The whole Bam is gonna “lock him up” thing I am a little fed up with …

Too many times this year he’s pick and chose his spots on who he locks up … If a guy is going off … Switch it and take that dude … Lock his up …

Trent Frazier just went out and got that done every night … We need Bam to take that role …

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Surprised the refs didn't call a kicked ball there on that turnover

 

[chiefini]

I knew when I saw who was reffing that it would be a tough game for us. We just have to show we have sand, and keep fighting through it. Patience, composure, and smarts. Keep playing defense. We can do this, Illini. Let’s go!

Page got 4 steps there....

ONE NW player against THREE of our kids and the NW guy gets the board!! Effort has been lackluster on the glass this half.
