Izzo saying he didn’t make the decision to not play Fears based on anything other than trying to win this game is BS. They needed the game with a two game losing streak. Moral decision my a$$

I don't get upset at losing in the regular season for basketball, but that was as rigged as I've seen in a while. Props to MSU for fighting hard, getting the rebound, and hitting the 3, but any neutral fan can see it wasn't a fair called game. Especially late game.

Izzo needs to stop making whining sour puckerface at the refs everytime camera is on him and actually be the caliber of his reputation.

BINGO!

This was not on the refs. The foul disparity was basically nil and we took more foul shots. 10 of 36.....that just can't happen nor can letting up almost 50 rebounds.

Their star scores 26 and ours was 1 of 15 with only 3 assists and 3 turnovers.

For the first time, we missed Kylan. That was the first time Keaton faced that caliber of athlete, in a hostile environment and he was putrid. He's a freshman, if we can live with 46, have to live with this.

Well, we shot the ball terribly and got out rebounded tonight. And still went to OT. We didn’t make the plays to win tonight and the refs didn’t help us either, but you knew that was gonna happen At Michigan State. Rebounding is what killed us tonight gave them way too many offensive rebounds.

That was infuriating. Just infuriating. Hell of a job by the refs tonight. Hell of a job. What a joke of an overtime.

That said, we had chances to close this out in regulation. Needed to be much better on the boards. Had a chance to really separate ourselves in that 2nd half and missed some open ones and bunnies. Some bad decisions. But man, for the refs to just refuse to call blatant fouls on MSU while calling air on us for 4 minutes straight in overtime. Way to absolutely ruin a good game. Flat out garbage.

Homie be real
Yes I am real. This is every bit as bad as the KJ game last year, actually worse.

The only thing that can even come close is the Ohio State games with Kofi (in the last 5-6 years).

Genuinely: which game do you say is worse in that time frame? I'll stack this one up with any in Brad's tenure.

Sure the UNC 05 game and the Zona E8 game is in a tier of itself, hence "one of."

We got better tonight. This was a C+ game and we had absolutely everything going against us and still almost snagged that
This is how I'm looking at it. Illinois wins this game with KB. If they see them again, it will be a double-digit victory for the Illini.
