Game Thread: Illinois at Tennessee

[Dominant Erupt]

Refs are so so so bad

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Landing zone violation.

I too think that was a foul on Goode though they also should have called Knecht for the flop

 

[ejam21]

Knecht getting Kobe calls now, foh

 

[skyIdub]

Knecht is Domasking us.

 

[Iamgroot]

These refs are giving volunteers everything this half

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

5 fouls in 4 minutes. Seems unlikely.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

It’s gonna be tough if Larry Bird is allowed to lead with his shoulder and get the touch call.

 

[cjw1901]

Critical mins for DD.

 

[FloridaMan]

As it gets later in the second half and the anxiety goes up, the siege on the refs start. Ignore the refs and focus on what our guys can control and if they're doing it correctly.

Refs can't be ignored when they continually insert themselves as a factor in the game. JMO

Edit; I feel like they are part of at least 6-8 of TN's second half points. Critical point and they are exerting influence clearly

 

[NarrowJ]

Knecht is Domasking us.

Except he'd not making any shots and just getting bailed out by weak calls.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Its gonna be tough when they are called fouls for breathing on Knecht and not for TSJ attacking.

 

[Illinifan74]

Gonna be hard to win a dog fight with the refs making some of these calls.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Refs definitely calling this half much differently than the first. Foulfest incoming?

 

[doowink]

Refs getting into a rhythm with the whistles right now

 

[WyattEarp]

A Hawkins 3 is not how I wanted that ball movement to end.

Me neither…unless he would have drilled it of course. lol

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Obvious by Dain there. C’mon man.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Man, Domask having a terrible game

 

[Icy veins]

Tennessee is in the bonus with 15 minutes to go…

 

[punchabove33]

Two bad turnovers

 

[New Creation]

WAY TO MANY TURNOVERS AND FOULS… if we win this it’s because the Vols gave it away

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeesh

 

[NarrowJ]

Refs have established which team can be aggressive.

 

[Butters]

So... 6 fouls in 5 minutes after 4 fouls in the first 20?

 

[dbeverly26]

This is just obscene

 

[BBlock24]

Hook and hold call completely changed the momentum of this game.
