I'll be honest, I don't want another chance at Penn State. Just a nightmare matchup and I'll be happy to never face Pickett again. I'd love to get another shot at the other three though.

Kelly didn’t call that foul because he was looking for any resemblance of taunting by Harris if that shot went in.

If I could add a caveat to this, it would be with a full & healthy rotation, which we didn’t have for either game. Loosiers will always be the team I most want us to beat like a piñata every time out!

There were two more egregious non-traveling calls:
Bates jumped to shoot and then switched to dribbling instead. That one is called 99%+ of the time but somehow wasn’t.
Reneau dove on the floor to grab the ball. Rolled over as he passed it to a teammate.
BIG reffing is atrocious.
"No sir; you don't dunk on me" said the Ref!!! "Not on my watch!"
No excuse -took his arm off
We really need to add challenges to the college game just like they did w/ the NBA. I'd rather have 1 challenge per half than the automatic under 2-minute review. It's often the case that a call early in a half has more swing on momentum than a call under 2 minutes.

Ok fine. I won't die on this hill.
But I will lay down and throw a childish tantrum and demand tater tots, mac n' cheese, and Luke Goode at the end of that game.

I played this in the game thread but it’s absolutely insane how much more TJD is in his face.

A couple things. First, you would need about 5 challenges per half and you would still run out! Second, with the pace of the game, it would be hard to challenge something when you don’t have time to have someone review it.
LOL, and the official was right there. I remember watching this live and thinking he was going to get a tech for it.

I hate that "guys upstairs" have time to review it. The MLB and NFL allow this and it doesn't make sense to me. If you as the coach/manager think the ref got it wrong in real time, you know, like the same time the ref had...then challenge. You shouldn't get the benefit of some video guy scouring for 30 seconds.
The technical was a BS call, but it happened with 5 minutes left in first half. Yes, Illini did not finish out half well, but I don’t think the technical foul had any impact on the 2 TOs and 2 missed layups that occurred after it.
Tough loss. Feel bad for RJ and like everyone else, so wanted that last shot to go in for him. Prior to game, I posted that I thought Illini needed a combined 12 points from RJ and Luke to get a win. Believe they ended up with 9.

Agree to disagree. The technical foul was a nut punch.
Should we have responded better? Perhaps. But the technical was still a nut punch.
