Game Thread: Illinois vs Texas

[jumpingjack]

On a lighter note, is Connor McCaffrey seriously still at Iowa?

 

[IceCuban]

I'm not usually one to blame the refs, but they are killing the flow of this game. Just terrible consistency.

 

[blife]

espn + refs = get desired outcome

 

[Jimbo]

I went back to look at the out of bounds cll on Epps. Boy was that a bad call. Sheesh.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Gotta overcome the refs again. 🫤

 

[jumpingjack]

Texas is really good on defense but they are getting away with murder.

 

[skyIdub]

TSJ should shoot 20 FT's in this half.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Is TSJ's depth perception ok? He is missing badly.

 

[hiberto]

pass the ball! too much iso going on

 

[ChiTown]

TSJ is just forcing the shots.

 

[IceCuban]

Last few minutes just took the wind out of their sails...

 

[Illini_Jack]

We got to get it together here

 

[jumpingjack]

Really like that we're taking it at Texas on offense instead of settling but refs have to do their part too.

 

[Godard]

That Hawkins baby hook and in-and-out follow up may cost us the game. *shudder*

Also getting tapped on the forearm

So refs are deciding to just straight job us this half, huh? Not sure how every single call can go in favor of one team including who is knocking the ball out of bounds.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

14-2 run.

Texas is the tougher team.

 

[illiniguy24]

These refs are miserably bad but man we blew our chance to make our run, and now they are making us pay

How did that tap in not stay down? It looked like it went through the cylinder and then spun back out.

 

[jumpingjack]

Sencire, you had my interest but now you have my attention.

 

[Illini8420]

That was an incredible block by Harris

 

[thehass]

What has happened to Shannon?

Appears that way. This is a good crew, but pretty obvious ending to this one. Job city. We aren't doing our job of putting it in the hole, but don't need extra help.

 

[Godard]

It's official...one more miss and TSJ earns the nickname "Wild Thing."

We were ahead by 8 rebounds in the first half. It is now tied. Of course, we are missing way too many shots. Haven't scored in a while.
