Game Thread: Illinois at USC

[TheodoreRex]

What the ____ are these refs smoking tonight?

They tried to say it was an accidental whistle hahahahahahaha

 

[illinifan1987]

Oh please! There have been very few people calling him out this season. His overall effort has increased by at least 200%. Even with a bad shooting night, he has still done other things very well.

Edit: I'm talking about last season...

 

[zentrails]

Welp, no complaints here. Anybody got anything?

Yeah, the announcers say that we're playing USC's game! Can't have that! LOL

Lenard (Big Bang Theory) has issues calling touch fouls

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

22 pt lead in these blue unis, beautiful

Seems like guys are falling into their roles well despite having to work Kylan and Andrej back

Loving what I am seeing in this regard. Kylan is slipping seamlessly back into the flow with so much confidence. AS is forcing nothing but moving well which is a great sign. And overall, there has not been a lineup that has dropped the level of play. Sure wish Z was a as smart as Tomi or Tomi had the twitch and athleticism of Z...but they don't...and I love them both. There really is no weak link in the first 8 and that is depth that few teams enjoy.

I think Illinois deserves a 1 seed over UCONN. I said it and i’m not taking it back, neither.

Same. At a 7 man rotation I think it's not at all debatable.

Don and Guy on the call not helping me stay awake....

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

The fcking clock guy is here in LA too?!?!?

 

[EllderIlliniFan]

Mirk - leading scorer last game. 5 minutes. Still a 20 point lead. Depth!

I'll sign your petition, sir.

 

[foby]

foul on time keeper

 

[FloridaMan]

Did we not just have a 15 minute break to get things ready to go for the 2nd half???

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Oh trust me, their whistles work just fine…

 

[Clngpl94]

Recalibrate the whistles? Stop blowing them so much!!!! Lmao

 

[Epsilon]

Get handsy - get the whistle.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Woods literally just hand ALL OVER Wagler.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Why are people standing up in the front row? It's like Mystery Science Theater at a college basketball game.

 

[jumpingjack]

Nice effort by Keaton.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

 

[FloridaMan]

They are just hacking the !!!! of KW whenever he has the ball. Just disgusting

 

[skyIdub]

Lol there were so many whistles in the first half the clock had to be recalibrated.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Tomi ALWAYS turns his body when he goes up for defense…

 

[Naborman88]

Are the fans sitting with their feet on the floor?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

You don't have to take it back, but all things being equal....they thumped us when we played. Yes, everyone knows we were battling injuries, but it's still out there. That you can't take back.
