Week of 2/16 Games Thread

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Really think OSU would've won this had Royal AND Mobley not been out.

Meanwhile OSU is holding MSU to 40 points at the 10 minute mark.

Yet another fears groin kick

 

[CV Illini]

Looks like more tears from Fears. A swift kick in the nuts is mandatory from that dude at least once a game.

 

[CoalCity]

Fears flop:

And trip

…and Fears with another kick to the groin but it was of course unintentional. He must hold the Guinness Book of World Records in that category.

Nothing will be done about as long as his coach and the conference he plays in doesn't hold him accountable.

Respect for Thornton today.

He’s just so unlucky/s

I hope OSU coach calls it out after game. 100% dirty play. Doesn’t deserve any benefit of the doubt. Will continue until league does something or they get “unlucky” with somebody kicking him.

Seriously, what is happening? I’m not one to latch on conspiracy theories, but the fact that everyone except officials, the conference office, and MSU fans can see how blatant this is does not have a rational explanation.

 

[FloridaMan]

Literally, no one in college basketball has these things happen more than once a season. This chump is "accidentally" tripping and kicking people in the groin EVERY SINGLE GAME???????!!!!! GMAFB B10

Fears is going to pull those stunts in a Tourney game and get a F2 on him and put a win in jeopardy. Something tells me non B1G refs aren't going to be nearly as forgiving of those antics.

That or someone will get up off the floor after a nut kick and proceed to curbstomp the little boy

 

[From the cheap seats]

Can’t wait to see how his antics will be received if/when he reaches the NBA. I’m thinking those guys won’t be amused by his weird obsession with their groins.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Boyd is fantastic

 

[NashvILLe05]

As someone who will forever laugh at Wisconsin wearing red while we were absolutely going to wear orange in 2004, resulting in one of the most unwatchable games in tv history, naw. If/when we want to wear orange at home, we should absolutely be allowed to wear orange at home. Home team picks. Away team has to deal.

It was wild…a superstition thing as I recall. I was in the OK standing on the floor during that game and even I had a hard time telling them apart from 30 feet away.

Easiest math is Illinois winning impressively tonight.

Dang man. Epic jinx.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Nick Boyd puts up 27pts, 10ast, 9reb in win over Iowa.

Second straight year WISC lands a stud out of the portal (Tonje last season).

What about AJ Storr the year before?

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

With Ohio State's loss, we'll now start no earlier than Thursday of the BTT. Iowa and Ohio State are tied for 8th and the Illini have the tiebreaker on both so we would finish no worse than that place in the standings.
