Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Ryllini]

Game of runs. Let's run a nice patient set here.

 

[hoopsfan47]

But now we’re not so now we can

Correct....rule 12-paragraph 4 (b)

 

[Illini-Rule]

Dainja trying to do too much.

He needs to recognize the double and triple teams and pass it.

 

[skyIdub]

I'd be fine with all the fouls if the more aggressive defensive team was getting it's share.

To have twice as many fouls is just so bad.

Whoever said earlier that Green was one of the worst in the B1G....

 

[FloridaMan]

So much for the 14 point lead.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

No. And Domask was fouled several times on the same possession prior to that coming down the floor.

You’re right. Big Ten refs have secret Illini-hating meetings to plan their conspiracy. And we didn’t just get that 50/50 call and borderline and-1 from Green. Like I said, they’re inconsistent and terrible. But the idea that they’re out to get us is nonsense.

 

[dwpittman]

Sorry guys. I just turned on the game. Went from a 15 point lead to 6 point lead.

I guess I’ll turn it off again. I’m apparently the bad luck

Thank you for recognizing the errors of your ways, and rectifying the situation.

 

[BBlock24]

Some of these fouls are crazy.

Who is saying this? It's simply, clearly lopsided officiating right now.

 

[ILLFAN67]

That wasn’t a foul on Shannon driving?

 

[LoveLovie]

They came back because of turnovers, but those fouls had our guys sit when we had momentum. This should be a W

Don't think it's making a difference right now.

 

[zentrails]

So much for the 14 point lead.

5 point lead at half on the road against ANY BT team is good.

 

[Ryllini]

We lost our nasty in the last 5-7 minutes. Dain just has to be smarter and actually want to help on defense.

 

[ChiTown]

Soooo where is CoHawk ?

Take care of the ball. You control that.

 

[Coop70]

Probably the most entertaining half of IIIINI Bball I've seen in a long while!

 

[Loyalillini10]

That wasn’t a foul on Shannon driving?

I believe there have been a lot of fouls on us driving. Few whistles blown, however.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Rutgers was going to make a run but we greatly assisted them with our low IQ play to breathe life into them again.

 

[walzon]

dain with some absolutely terrible shots at the end of the half

 

[Loyalillini10]

Soooo where is CoHawk ?

Foul trouble, I believe.

 

[azillini1]

Without the TO's we are firmly in control of this game. Rodgers with 3 of the 10 TO's.

 

[zentrails]

Don't think it's making a difference right now.

They can't handle TSJ and it doesn't even look like he's really gotten started yet

 

[skyIdub]

Take care of the ball. You control that.

What? Turnovers control foul calls? Lol.

 

[bjp84]

We played good D the first half. They just got hot with the 3. Wayyyyyy too many turnovers though. Especially from a veteran bunch. We knew we wouldn’t blow them out on their home court. Should be a great 2nd half.
