[QUOTE="NarrowJ, post: 2003331, member: 748804"] Northwestern's minutes were more concentrated than ours, so I don't understand the issue with playing 7 guys. This is extremely common in tight college basketball games and a complete non-issue. Officiating was really bad, but we got some breaks as well. Instead of a dead ball review to give NW 2 points on the goaltend, I come back from commercial to see they instead reviewed a NW 3 point shot and actually took a point away from them instead. Lot of other really egregiously bad officiating, but both teams suffered from it to some degree. We now have a second game in a couple week span where we just absolutely cannot make shots at the rim. A couple of times we had 3 or 4 shots at the rim [B]on a single possession[/B] and came away empty. There was a sequence in the second half where NW gets a shooter's bounce on a 3 point shot and it goes in, then 10 seconds later on the ensuing Illinois possession we have a 3 point shot barely rim out. If that one teeny-tiny instance of luck goes the other way, we're up 6 points at the end and Domask is shooting FTs to ice it instead of a tie game. [/QUOTE]
