[QUOTE="alaskaillini, post: 1607993, member: 531679"] This will be the biggest issue for the Illini. I can see Kofi getting called for ticky tack fouls (even offensive fouls for bodying up guys in the post), and Giorgi fouls consistently when he is in the game just about every game. Even though B1G refs can be atrocious, they often let the guys play. Refs who don't see B1G teams might not be prepared for how physical our games are. This, and the physical grind of the season wearing down players, is why I don't think the B1G wins more NCAA championships than they do. Hope I am wrong and the refs instead call all the fouls that other players commit against Kofi. May be a race to see whose bigs foul out first. [/QUOTE]
