Game Thread: Illinois vs Long Island

Petro gets very loose and wide with his handle. Glad it’s not working so he can learn it won’t fly.

Just dropped by to say......

THAT WAGLER 3 WAS ABSOLUTELY FILTHY

I like the way Ben is playing

He's been playing really hard today. Him Kylan, and Big Z have led the way today.

Yep. It's almost as if Brad and Co know how to develop players.

I will say, the overall quality of threes that Ben gets are extremely high. He gets himself in good position, needs to consistently bury the open ones

Its why he's frustrating for so many.

You'd hope to have someone hitting 40% of those & Ben is hitting 30% since Jackson St.

Lol...I love how the foul's nobody even thinks about as flagrant.....are reviewed and changed to flagrant.


Edit: And the ones that are clearly flagrant.......common foul.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Whoa... A flagrant 1 for a leg kick on the 3... Wild... Absolutely wild

Love the way Ben has adapted his game and grown. He is now a B1G warrior who will send you into row 5, make you bleed if you try to take a board from him. and bury 6 threes in a row if you don't get up on him. Actually a couple is fine as he needs to be inside doing the former most of the time. (Sorry...got carried away with my attitude!).

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Weird flagrant...

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I know 2 have been in our favor the past 2 games, but I just don't know why we seek out flagrant fouls now. These are big calls, and we actively look for excuses to call it. Idk why.

 

[stlrunner]

So glad this is the last B1G+ game of the season.

 

[ChiTown]

Very sloppy plays with a lot of turnovers already.

Absolutely insane call. We're 4 games in and the alarm bells are ringing this is going to be the absolute worst year of reffing we've ever seen

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ben missed both.

 

[skyIdub]

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was absolutely gorgeous

 

[jamarvelous31]

Is it a student crew or just announcers?

 

[GrayGhost77]

It's like the B1G heard all the complaining about DJ Baldhead, Kelly Pfeifer, Larry Scirrotto and us wondering if it could get any worse, and the B1G said "Hold my beer!".

*hockey change loading.....

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Some lazy work on the boards guys. That was what, 4 offensive rebounds by LIU on 2 possessions, only 1 of which was a longish rebound?

 

[band camp]

Just tuned in after reading game thread. Thought we would only be up a few points. To my surprise we are up almost 20 and shooting 64% from the field.
And look great too in the fresh unis.

I'll defend the refs a little. I think these are the rules NCAA actually has put in place. I've always hated when refs call "hook and holds" but thats what the ncaa has asked. Dumb.

 

[LoveIlliniHoops]

What is the spread on today’s game?

Are our expectations a bit hyped?

Going off memory but believe it was -34.5
