Just see his cuts. Walking, no attempt to get in front of defender. No change of speed. It’s an invisible man.
I was thinking the same thing.
Also, Illinois was bailed out on that foul just now, with their big man trapped by three players. Looked like pretty good defense to me.
That was my reaction exactly. Is this the same crew that called the phantom foul on Audige a few weeks back?
It’s too bad we stand around in no man’s land and then we get beat with a kick out 3 - all the time!
Let’s see if we can finish this half strong and get it under 10.Our team plays hard so they won’t give up.The refs are beyond ridiculous.
We also would have been in the Nebraska football game if not for the missed tackles and all the punts.
Cats are definitely bothering him. Unfortunately Plummer and the rest are rendering the point moot.
I’d rather let Kofi settle for 2 down low than give up all these 3s.
We can’t leave Nance to deal with him as we did to start the game. He’s going to either foul or get bullied. Rotate Young/Williams/Nicholson as we later did. Double only if he gets the ball really low or when he dribbles. But, overall, we had too many defensive breakdowns. Some have stated they like our help defense. I do not. It’s a delicate balance of how much to float, but it’s just not great.
Collin needs to throw a chair across the floor and/or go ballistic right in a referees wheelhouse. The, in a press conference state that “We have recorded or studied all the film and it clearly shows the bias of the officials against NU. Today was just another example.” He will get suspended, but Gragg should back him up. Otherwise, he should stop his barking,
I doubt Dr. Gragg says anything.....like zero chance. His men's BB and FB teams are about to get swept by IL. I hope someone communicates to him this is a "rivalry".
If Illinois doesn’t get to the Final Four this year, I think they are underachieving. So much talent.
Just can’t hit our shots today.Have had open looks but nothing is falling.Shot poorly against Indiana and got away with it but that won’t happen today.Would like to see us get one real good run here in the 2nd half.
I remind you, "if a buzzard had a bugle up its *** there would be music in the sky "
