Bit did he step on his foot? I'd like to see a replay.

KJ with ZERO! turnovers this game. Tremendous growth.
It was called on Antigua watch Brad tell him that

It's sort of irrelevant in the sense that, regardless of who got teed, it gave MSU 2 free points and possession and made our job harder.
Another end of the game situation, when Boswell was coming down the lane down one.....if Ivisic has his hands up and he's ready for the pass.....it's a dunk.
We were right there to overcome bad officiating and we cost ourselves. We have the look in the mirror, as do the refs.

We can still get a good seed if we get on a streak.
I was wondering if CBS has a policy that commentators absolutely do not question calls. They seemed to completely go with anything called, and even didn't seem to replay some of the most questionable of calls.With all that nonsense (best player fouled out in limited minutes and in hostile road environment), the Illini still only lost by 2 and had a chance to win in the end. Michigan State may still be unbeaten in conference, but it is clear to any sane individual that the Illini are the more talented team. Looking forward to smoking the Izzos' in Champain next month.
Let's hope we don't see this officiating crew again. It was one of the sorriest excuses of officiating in a CBS game in a long time.
Need to protect home court next week and beat MD and NW. This team is still in good position for a deep March run, though the regular season conference title is becoming very unlikely. Who knows, maybe KJ getting a ton of rest today will help in the long run
B1G Nwtwork, FX1, and others will question calls or even call them out as wrong.
I would have left him in. He's been pretty trustworthy in those situations. Unfortunately, there was nothing Underwood could do about the miscalls.

IMHO, and regardless of this outcome, that rule should be changed. If your feet are inbounds and you can make a shot like that, it should count. I see no reason why it shouldn’t, as long as it doesn’t hit anything on the way to the hoop.

Assistants have to watch what they are saying. I speak from experience that assistants really get zero tolerance toward comments about the officials. The head coach will normally get some leeway (and should), but assistants don't get that.
It's an emotional game, and I get that. But you also need to have enough emotional self-control to not even put yourself in that situation. I wasn't able to watch the game today, so I can't really comment one way or another on the officiating (even if I did watch, I generally stay out of the "we lost refs sucked" comments and focus on other things). But I will stand by this comment.
I love the fight at the end to get 4 straight stops - don’t love Kylans decision on the pass on the last possession obviously I don’t know why we didn’t get Riley involved there he was great today and had a big height advantage on his defender
If we get this Riley the rest of the way - this game could be a blessing in disguise

Negotiating contracts can be stressful unless you are Rod Tidwell
Offense was stagnant without him. Do not fault rolling the dice
If Ivisic is ready for the pass, it's a dunk. It was a little hot and I'm close quarters, but Tomi wasn't ready for it. Hands can't be down there.
This right here.
USC, Penn State? Frustrating. This one is frustrating for different reasons. But also leaves alot of reason for optimism.
Yes. Bang bang play but yes.
So if Illinois were to ever lose a game because of that, would you feel the same?
Well, I agree the shooting wasn't good enough. Missed some free throws by guys that generally shoot a high percentage. Some of the foul calls on KJ should have been non calls in fact one he got called for He was pushed to the floor. IZZO did his general whining act. I used to root for him, but the constant baby whining has turned me off. I said we would have to stop them constantly driving to the basket, that didn't happen. There was just some little things even without KJ to lead us that cost us the game. Will missed a couple easy shots [layup] Rez missed a couple but all in all I am not discouraged by the loss, disappointed yes. I think when these Spartans come to Champaign the Illini will kick their butts off the floor.
Now we have to focus on Maryland, they are good, and we better put this game behind us quick and go give Maryland a beat down they have coming.

I'll take it a different direction than talking about the refs...
For as good as White was for a long stretch he has been really bad the last 3 games. He was essentially a non existent ghost today. We need him to do all the little things to win games like this. We need you Tre, bring it on Thursday.

I don’t think his foot was on the line. Next to the line. But not on it. Even announcers thought he was in. But that wasn’t the call. It’s a stupid rule but it’s a rule.

They were running great sets previously to that. I don't think it was necessary. Had Boswell taken the shot instead of trying to throw a hot pass two feet away, it may have turned out differently.
