QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) Anytime a half court shot goes in and another player makes 50% of his three pointers in one game, it's luck. But Minny is better without it. I was certainly not talking about that shot. It was luck. I'm assuming he was referring to Coleman/Williams going 3/5 from three-point range, since they're poor three-point shooters. Andre Hollins is also 3/5 from three-point range (2/4 not including that lucky shot), but he's a legit excellent three-point shooter.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:56 PM) Well Minnesota was just better tonight but also terrible luck for Illinois with garbage 3 pt shooters going 3 for 5 from 3 and Hollins also banking in the 40 footer. It's not bad luck if a player hits a wide open three. It's bad defense.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) You guys are good, we didn't bring our home game, but you guys are definitely very good. Our biggest downfall (in the long run) will be the lack of a true spot up three-point shooter. Blake Hoffarber would be perfect for this team, given how many open looks they have from the perimeter due to the inside presence and constant drives.

I'm just pissed I never got a Gopher team like this when I was in school

Gophers are KILLING the Illini in transition right now.

Some of these Illinois shots are just so mindboggling.

I have a mancrush on Dre Hollins

Illinois fans are trying to boo that clear path foul call, but even they know it was a stupid foul

Crowd is into it, which means any 50/50 call goes Illinois' way for the rest of the game (as is the nature with Big 10 refs). Illinois is down 4 with 13 minutes left. Let's be real here...

I'm a Gopher and Gopher fan, but damn those were a pair of stupid foul calls EDIT: Oh, at least it was a double foul on Mbakwe and Egwu. Still should have been a non-call. EDIT2: Also, the negativity in this thread is hilarious. This is FAR from over...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) Two bulls*** calls so far Surely you aren't talking about that last one by Abrams, are you?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:17 PM) Illinois needs to shoot better than 25% if they are going to win this game. Hire me, BTN. Seriously. This is a game between two top 15 teams and THIS is the best crew they could get? Come on.. this is a joke.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) helps to have a 42 year old in your starting line up Jealousy rears its ugly head

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 08:56 PM) Illinois turned on the AC and blew that pass into the stands. Nope, that's just Andre Ingram

Northwestern gave up literally like five offensive rebounds on free throws when we played them, so at least you guys aren't THAT bad.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) And wtf? Did they not get rid of the falling out of bounds time out? I swear they did, but who knows. The fact that these refs gave a player both a dunk and charge on the same play really speaks to their ineptitude.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) Nice no call on Henry there. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 08:40 PM) Wow, terrible missed call on Henry For the record, road teams never get calls in the Big Ten, so it's not surprising it wasn't called. That said, it was a pretty blatant foul.

These announcers are brutal

That charge/dunk was the stupidest call I've seen in a LONG time.

No one likes you, qwerty

If Nate were capable of being an integral piece, he wouldn't be playing on his fifth team in four years.

Touche, sir. Touche.
