That’s a sanctimonious straw man you have there.W
We’re the only team in Big10 that has to “overcome” the refs during a home game.
Anyway.
BOOOOOOOOO!!!

So you mean we allow large groups of opposing fans to attend our games?That was one of the best CBB games i have ever attended. Fortunately for me my tickets were in 216 row 15. The big NW fan section was about 3 rows behind me and boy was the back and forth with them fun.. Luckly there were 2 rows of Krush kids in between.. All good natured fun jabs in both directions.. They suddenly became very quiet hmmm wonder why they were in absolute and udder shock at the end... Have to admit they were alot more calm and cool compared to some of the UofI students around them.. The SFC actually sent security up there at the end to escort them down. Great win.... Hope Epps gets over his tantrum today and learns that if you dont play the way you are instructed then you will be seated.
I think Dain is already better at passing out of a double team than Kofi ever was. Last night was a bit of an anomaly, I thought, holding on to the ball so long.Dain obviously isn't Kofi, and they have completely different skillsets, but Kofi had many of those same problems when he first came to Illinois. I'm confident that Dainja will make the necessary improvements over the next couple years.
Totally agree....I'm impressed with how good the freshmen are defensively...typically that's an area that most freshmen struggle with and limits their minutes...but with this group...defense and rebounding seems to be a strength and has lead to more playing time...really excited to see what AH and MJ will add to the mix.
Have read this comments a few times now. Gonna have to go watch that post game. Always a pleasure to see a classy guy.
I, as well, turned the sound down. I got incredibly tired of hearing how Boo Buie was the greatest basketball player to ever wear shorts.Muted as well … Usually helps

That’s how I’m looking at it. Strangely, I find it a little reassuring that 0440 said Epps took himself out of the game. Sounds like he was frustrated. Certainly refusing to go back in isn’t a good thing, but hopefully Chester and BU can help him get past this and to get his head on straight. Right now I’ll chalk it up to freshman frustration and take a wait and see attitude. Will be interesting to see if he starts against OSU.Let's not look too much into it right now. He was having a rough night, and he was likely pissed at himself more than anything. It never feels good being benched because you aren't playing well or the guy you're guarding is just going off on you. Sometimes you miss out on really fun things because you're feeling bad about yourself. I'd be more concerned if he started laughing it up with the cheerleaders having some popcorn when he was pulled. Being upset after a bad performance is human, and shows you have a deep hunger to do better. Jayden will surely be starting next game and Brad will be going back to him and my bet is he'll have a really solid game.
That cannot be right! Go back and read the NW game thread! BU always gets outcoached!

More funny than maddening to me. Epps had his arm wrapped around his waist prior to the trip attempt. That was a foul.
Did you notice the time he fell down when trying to set a screen? He was expecting to bump into the defender (TSJ) and missed. If he was setting a legal screen he would be balanced. I reran it. He clearly was expecting to move into the defender's path and bounce off. He was stunned himself.I rarely complain about officiating, but the Northwestern"moose"had some blatant moving screens I would've called.
He's got the move down does the same thing every time, and does not get called
