One QUESTION? How does an offensive player bang the defender in the chest 3-4 times and NEVER get called for a foul? Then the defender breathes on the guy and gets called. We are not playing hockey or football. This is BULL SIT! That is a charging foul. The Refs need to call it!
The 2nd thing I want to point out is; Everyone keeps talking how good we are defensively- That is CRAP TOO! In the 5 of 6 games the Illini have lost they have been totally manhandled on the inside; MSU-38 ILL 22, MARYLAND-52-ILL 26, NW. 46, ILLINI 38, Marquette 44 Illini 20, Tenn. 38 Illini 24 The only game they lost that they were even inside was Purdue 34-34 That sounds like a sieve to me. The other teams are getting shots close to the basket and the Illini are throw up bombs from 30 feet! This team is soft and they will not make past the 1st round again this year!
