Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[BoiseBaller]

Now that is absolutely a hook and hold. So I'm sure this Braintrust will call it just a common foul.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Yep hook and hold.

6 foul shots and ball for Illini

Now let's stop action for 20 minutes for review

 

[aaeismacgychel]

If you are gonna review these hook and holds that is one, don't like it but it's the rule

Agreed. Just an awful rule and process of enforcement and challenge. But it's certainly a hook and hold in this case

 

[HailtotheChief]

I dont love the hook and hold unless it is obvious and in that case it was.

He's gotten arguably worse at this than when he was at Cal. Just trying to do too much

He had the luxury of volume and not having to play much D.

 

[IlliniFan42]

Nice of the Big Ten Network to let us watch the game

 

[hhoene]

Why does it feel like we went most of this season and last and never saw a hook and hold review and now all of a sudden we are getting it basically every game?

One would think the coaches have pointed this out on tape by now with him

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

We got the call our way but that hook and hold rule is so stupid. It’s being way overused. Typical rule over reaction.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The call should go our way but these reviews take way too long

I don't mind them taking the time to get it right because it could be a huge swing in the game. However, it does take longer than in should.

 

[PapaKvells]

What’s up with Boswell? Haven’t seen much of him.

 

[jamie13197]

Big Z has earned every penny this year.I like him and his brother on the court against this team

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Tomi...yikes.

 

[blueguy]

Right call on the hook and hold but dumb rule. Even if we benefited from it today

 

[alaskaillini]

Mirk was the lucky recipient this time.

Mirk could have been called for it as well.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Andrej is useless against zone. Ball movement beats it. I think the # of times he ball's left Andrej hands after it gets to him is on less than a handful of fingers

 

[TheodoreRex]

The one play Tomi got it in the high post and actually took it to the hoop and made a post move- such simple offense- so effective... Over/under we don't go to it even one more time this half?

 

[FloridaMan]

These refs are absolute horse !!!!

 

[azillini1]

Any one on this site at the game? Seems like a quite crowd.

 

[Jon]

Z literally always standing in the wrong spot on loose balls and it always goes against him

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Walk....

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

TRAVEL !!!!!!

[IlliniAlumnus]

EASY Travel call missed!

 

[aveseaboy]

That was like 4 steps
