It could have been a flagrant on Cooper if they reviewed it. If we didn't ask for review, we should have.
More tin foil hat time. Some guy named Terry Wymer is supposedly the Big Ten's coordinator of men's basketball officiating, but he doesn't show up on staff directory.

He was a terrible official too. Fired by BIG because he officiated Big 12 games during COVID.
It was during the timeout apparently. Brad said “their bench was up, our bench got up and a T was called on the bench. It wasn’t on me.”
Maybe they should put Izzo's head on it, or up the other end.

Rather several...I guarantee you could find an MSU fan online who would insist this was a clear foul on KJ
Allegedly (no conformation) it might've been said to be on O (?)
Lol, here's my proposal for a new rule. If you get t'd up for complaining about a bs call (like granting the time out), then they review the first call, and if it was indeed bs, the bs call still stands, but the T is withdrawn. (Any further complaining about the BS call can be t'd up, however.)
How can there be a technical foul at a crucial point in the game and the official does not explain the basis for the tech? Two days later and no one knows that happened?????
Do not believe this has been pointed out but if you watch a reply of the game at the very end it appears that Fears pushed Boswell with a forearm to the chest as he put up the shot up that went up over the backboard. Boswell most likely believed a foul would be called but it was not.
Positives:
Will Reilly played great and needs to be highlighted more. What a great stretch in the first half. Great finishing. Positive play over the last few games, as more of an all around player, lead into this game.
Morez played well again. Ivisic played well. The three with KB had a real nice clown on offense at the end of game. Reminded of ayo/ Kofi sets just real hard to defend. Was able to get to the basket and finish well.
Rebounding was good, hustle was good.

Can BU please stop going over screens at the logo?? Been doing it all year long. Guards had a running start to the basket. Put the bigs in a tougher situation, and MSU bigs could crash the boards. MSU was not a threat to take a 3 from there.
middle stretch on offense; need to find some more things to rely on. Did so last few minutes.
Reilly got in his own head after missing the possible and 1, and missed 2 FT. Tough environment I’m sure contributed too.

This is the only question that I would like to see answered by the NCAA, Big10, or the refs. My first reaction was how did they allow that TO? Then when the announcers said there has been a technical foul called, my reaction was " Izzo is getting T'd up. We're getting 2 shots and the ball". Even a held/jump ball call would have given the Illini the ball. If anybody has seen this addressed, I'd like to see the explanation.
In addition to still being pissed off about the officiating that called handcheck fouls on Augustine 25 feet from the hoop, in a NC game, and letting Sean May bulldoze Roger Powell, to then later learn that most of the UNC players were fake students participating in a university sanctioned scam, still frost my butt. I'll argue with anybody, that knows and watches basketball, that the 1989 and 2005 Fighting Illini were the best team(s) in the country those 2 seasons.
