Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[dbeverly26]

Kelly Pfeifer KNOWS that he owes us for robbing us at Indiana. Those 3 or 4 point swings absolutely matter in close games. First the refs blow it in early September when Hightower had a clear TD at Indiana, then the refs blew it and called a Flagrant when Coleman Hawkins cheered his own dunk like 99.9% of athletes do. As much as I hate Indiana, I hate Northwestern more. Ok maybe I hate them equally, and hate Michigan the most, but that's a conversation for a different day.

Something tells me Pfeifer is going to hear it from the faithful tonight....

Very good. Generally applies to each and every B10 official, Director of Officials, and B10 most recent Commissioner.

If they're all bad, are they really underestimating how good they are at their jobs? Do we grade on a curve, or what?

Good question. I would say they rank at the bottom of conferences by a wide margin.

I want us to start hot, stay hot and run away with this one.

Also want it loud.

Called 95% of the time, 100% if it's us on D

 

[Chillinini]

At least they are consistent with how they start their games.

 

[GallopingGhost]

That was an obvious moving screen on the boo three

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We just can't shoot.

 

[InDaAZ]

OK, Ima gonna peel my eyes for NW moving screens…

Just cuz!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We just can't shoot.

But NW can.

 

[FloridaMan]

Missed layups, giving up wide open threes. What will it take for this team to get up for a game? How many screens are we gonna go under?

 

[BBlock24]

Not worried at all.

 

[BRucks]

Guess we Didn't know that they can shoot the 3.

 

[spillini]

I still can’t process NW being good

 

[GallopingGhost]

Hot start so far for them. But should level off
