Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

[DHajekRC84]

McConnell was pushed and tried to brace his fall

Absolutely. He turned his head and never squeezed but his hand collapsed around "it" due to the force. This is absurd. There was no intent there and how they suggest there was is brutal.

 

[bac2therac]

Instead of falling on the ground..defend the 3

 

[RU848789]

Can we effing put MJ back in? Please?

 

[G- RUnit]

Officiating doesn’t matter. Yeah right!

League is a joke! Sorry I said it! F them’

 

[GSGS]

Maybe we get pushed back to a 10 seed after today? That would be a silver lining.

 

[RobotHunter]

Refs been garbage all night and not a peep out of Pike. Then they call that on McConnell and still no emotion from him...pathetic. Team sees that their leader is not standing up for them.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Make up calls, now that the game is all but over.

Looks almost ‘even’ in the box

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Lol no man goes to grab another man in that area...Bardo never heard of Herb Pope

He did say man though

 

[RW90]

Just a wee bit late on the cover Ron.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Illinois getting away with murder.

 

[Jackson206:)]

If this isn’t enough for Rutgers to come out pissed and with a purpose next game nothing will.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Of course Pike just stands there

I honestly have no respect for his demeanor as a coach.

 

[rufeelinit]

We look so disorganized in our defensive coverages.

 

[bac2therac]

Maybe we get pushed back to a 10 seed after today? That would be a silver lining.

We are a 9 or 10

 

[RuBird]

I’d say try it against the refs but clearly they have no b*lls

 

[BOCA93]

Yikes. Offensive boards 16-2 Illini. No chance of you don’t crash the boards against a team like this

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Looks almost ‘even’ in the box

And that's why you look at FTs

 

[RutgersLifeR]

I honestly can't even take this game seriously after Caleb's foul. Just can't stop laughing.

 

[richthedentist]

Tell me Refs don’t decide a game Harper gets fouled and they don’t call it just bull ****

 

[Plum Street]

Giving him a handy

We are all gonna need one after this game

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

What!?

 

[ballgame4u]

i just really hope we dont get these refs dont do our ncaa games

 

[jerzeyguy]

This is like the Michigan game. Never even in contention

 

[koleszar]

Wow 24 fouls with almost 7 mins. left. Let's go for 30.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

And that's why you look at FTs

Deep sarcasm there

 

[MadRU]

Did I mention F the refs?

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Illegal block in the back... 15 yards from the spot...

oh, wait... it's Illinois... totally cool......

 

[rob kight]

Ok you win. Fouls in the second half i I do have issues with.

I honestly can't even take this game seriously after Caleb's foul. Just can't stop laughing.

They pushed our player down right in front of red and nothing called

 

[RUsojo]

Funny thing about tonight is it’s the best out offense has looked in the half court in months. Mostly PnR.

 

[Mikemarc]

They’re just toying with us.

 

[RUBlackout]

By the way, Kofi SUCKS on defense...we should have been taking it to him All game

 

[Jtung230]

Dick grab classic Rutgers

 

[RW90]

If this isn’t enough for Rutgers to come out pissed and with a purpose next game nothing will.

Umm, if they don't season's over.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

This is like the Michigan game. Never even in contention

Like the Nebraska game too

 

[MadRU]

Myles has to play smarter, sorry

 

[bac2therac]

Lol myles looked like he fouled on purpose to foul out

 

[ballgame4u]

mj had some stupid fouls tonight

 

[greenknight]

Cockburn just STANDS there in defense he is even too slow to get his arms up

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

CRAZY AND SAD SAD ENDING

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Illegal block in the back... 15 yards from the spot...

oh, wait... it's Illinois... totally cool......

Omg. And people go out of their way to defend these jokers. Hahahahaha
