Welcome to the (non-Illini) games thread.

Friday of conference tournament week . . .

 

[jrichisamazing]

Rooting for Kentucky, Bama, and Auburn to lose today. The more help we can get for that 3 seed, the better.

 

[jrichisamazing]

Or maybe we want Auburn to win? Don't want them to slip to a 5 seed in case we do get a 4 seed. And with their lack of quality wins I can't see them moving up to a 3 seed even if they win the SEC tourney.

Missing some games in the top 25? UConn, Marquette, Big 12?

Should have never of held this in Minneapolis. You take it right out of the central hub of the conference.

Why do that?

Welp... Purdue apparently >>> MSU. I hope this ages poorly but it likely won't.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

MSU has been called for more offensive fouls than I have seen all year - cumulative.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Apparently every time Lance Jones falls down Courtney Green is going to call an offensive foul.

 

[BWBW]

It sure looks like Purdue is getting very favorable calls.

 

[frozenrope9190]

4 offensive fouls against the Spartans in one half. They never call that anymore.

 

[pruman91]

Courtney " no gonads " Green once again, showing that he is such an inept ref......It is so evident that he is in over his head.....it really really is.....

 

[Coop70]

Unfortunately (for them) the BIG officials won't be on the traveling squad for Purdont. I predict another quick exit.

 

[kyillinifan]

MSU can’t get a call. If Pu gets those kind of calls no one will beat them. I am surprised that Izzy hasn’t gotten a tech yet.

Well, we suffered through TV Ted for years. Now there's Cable Courtney.

He is very restrained given the provocation.

Please tell me there's no way the nutless wonder will work our game this evening.
