Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[blueguy]

Games like this are the perfect example of why the big ten struggles in the NCAA tournament. No other conference calls weak fouls like this especially at this rate. The tournament has a much more lenient whistle and results in big ten teams not being prepared for it.

Nice bucket Andrej. Come on Illini, bury them down the stretch like you did to the Vols.

Stoya may be the best finisher I have seen...glad we have him.

Second time the shot clock expired when it should have reset, first time the ball just bounced out of bounds though. Both times were on Illini possessions.

As a former scoreboard operator, the guy who's doing it for OSU needs to be fired. 2nd time he's missed resetting the clock. Can't do that

Thornton human after all

 

[FloridaMan]

Thornton with 6 this half. Thank goodness!

How was that not a flagrant on Mobley

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why is Ben in over Stoj?

Because every human on the planet needs to regain air in their lungs when tired. He's done a nice job on both ends of the floor. If we have the depth, use it and we should be fresh down the stretch. We talk all off-season on how we're 8 or 9 deep, then during the season ask what we're subbing. Lol

 

[hoopsfan47]

If AS works on both ends like that....wow....what a weapon. So glad to see it.

His high-degree of difficulty shots are things of beauty

That was not a travel

 

[skyIdub]

There's no way that's a travel. This is absolutely unacceptable B1G officiating. Period.

 

[Battle89]

Homer call

 

[foby]

You are wrong NO TRAVEL

 

[FloridaMan]

That was not a travel! WTF!!!!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

I don’t know what a travel is anymore…

 

[aveseaboy]

A travel?! That should’ve been an and 1

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Can you challenge? What a awful call...

 

[Mr. Roberts]

That was not a travel.

 

[The pop of Champaign]

It looked like a travel even though it wasn’t. Ref got fooled
