Anyone else see that guard from Colgate two hand shoving each one of our guys at the top of the key during that last possession lol?

When we get downhill, they do not have a chance.

Where was the call on this?

Yes I can here to check if it was blatant as I thought.

 

[stlrunner]

I’m not watching, but just checked the box score…and Mirk has 8 rebounds in 10 minutes?!?

 

[blife]

attack the middle of this dam zone please and kick it back out, stop throwing it around the arch

 

[illinifreak30]

So much for petrovich playing I guess

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Today's the first game we've looked like a college team. Not playing well

 

[JKR]

33/12/67 shooting slash so far.

 

[derrick6]

Brad better get serious about this game

 

[dainjazoner]

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That zone confuzzled us.

Jumping onto my soapbox.....

Collectively, all referees are fair and equitable. Some call it tighter. Some let it go a little more. As I've viewed (or coached or played in) thousands of basketball games starting in 6th grade and all the way through the TTU victory by the Illini earlier this week ---- the referees are not a factor.

As a fan, who cares who the referees are?

Perhaps twice in my lifetime have the referees actually changed the outcome of a game I've seen. The 2005 National Championship Game might just be one of those two. The refs should be invisible to the casual fan and to the viewing public. And from my perspective, they nearly always are!

I'm with you 100% but we are a club with 2 members on this board. Irrational hot takes on officials are the standard.

 

[ChiTown]

We need to attack the basket.

Because there are about 100 rebounds available with all the misses

 

[LuckyIllini]

I love Ben and Jake but if they’re not looking to shoot and knock down threes. Bench em

 

[FloridaMan]

Man, quite a letdown from Tuesday so far. Threes are not falling gotta find another way to score right now. JD probably with more minutes than I would like personally if he’s missing wide open shots.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Our first foul almost 1/4 of game over. A lot like last game. And very much unlike any previous season I can remember. Let’s see that hold true against Izzo & Gard.

 

[DICKnaggie]

No intensity. Unfocused. Classic letdown game, but we can learn from it and I'm sure Brad will do some "teaching" at half.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

This game is sleepy. I hate sleepy.

 

[SescIllini]

Keaton Wagler has been our best player. Big Z going to show up on a milk carton unless he starts doing something on defense and offense.

Yeah, we look like garbage right now. First squad didn’t perform all that well. And the Ben and Jake got a shot but didn’t look much better. Need to figure out this zone and work inside out.

Club pins to be issued next week!

If Jake’s gonna be on the floor he needs to knock down wide open threes

Hasn't been his best shooting night. The first 3 he took was open but a bit awkward and not in rhythm. The second was in rhythm but decent closeout. The 3rd was wide open in rhythm off an offensive rebound. That one should go
