Illinois 85, Maryland 80 Postgame

I don't know I missed it. My understanding was always that you couldn't cross the plane of the free throw line until the ball hit the rim or backboard.

Rodgers seems to walk across the free throw line before that happens.
I know that’s what the rule is, I swear I heard it. But, I also watch all my games with a seven year old. So might not have heard it clear. Lol

That was a game that was tough to give my full attention to because if I did I’d be on my way to an ulcer or missing huge clumps of hair. Definitely tense, but good guys pulled through. Still things to clean up, but overall thought everyone played well. Goode had a rough game and need to get him back on track, but everyone had their moments. Gotta love the road win, especially at Maryland.

Come on neighbor. Because our free throw shooting today was for real spectacular, we can never in the future at any time complain about lousy FT shooting? okay, I'm excited too!!!111 ILL
Yup, new loyalty rule...but we could do one calendar year, or collapse in NCAA tourney. We'll, we are gonna complain anyway, so rule is over, it's been an hour

Almost lost my mind on Hamer telling them not to foul on that last sequence ... What a stupid decision ...

Almost as stupid as Willard's decision making down the stretch ...

But we got the W ... That is all I care about ...

On to Penn State ... Who per sources will be without their leading scorer ... He did not play today and did not travel with the team ...

Expecting another W ... But for now I shall enjoy this one ...

Can you pour one of those on the team charter?

I learned one thing today: Maryland students are the most classless in the B10 conference. They deserve their mediocre weasel coach and their mediocre team. NIT NIT NIT...

We needed a road win in the worst way. Glad the guys found a way in a hostile environment
You just learned that today? A fanbase notorious for heckling their own coaches are downright brutal to the point of unsportsmanlike conduct to the opposition. Terps have always been fickle and classless

Say what you want about Rutgers and Maryland but they can defend. I tend to think that's our best matchup going against a strong defensive team. Good offensive teams can give us trouble because our defense isn't back to what it was and they can keep up with us. Now if we plug our late game leaks, it may not matter.

It's just so easy to forget how well all these B1G teams know each other. Year after year of the scout. Every game is competitive.

Unless you are this years scUM!! :LOL:

I knew they were bad when they threw a chicken wing at BU but still, they took it to another level that it didn't have to go to. Northwestern and MSU students did not really go out of bounds like the Twerps did.

I felt the ability to control Young down the stretch was the difference. Shannon not being with the team the first time was huge. I think controlling guys like Young and Buie will be the test on how far this team goes.

I agree enjoy this one. Maryland is a team well built to give use trouble, IMO one of our biggest wins this year.
