I'm not sure there is a ref in college basketball that deserves to have a job. f***ing absurd that PSU got a timeout there.

Nnanna Egwu is f***ing awful.

Illinois is playing 2 on 5 on offense most times because of the injuries right now. Teams barely even guard Egwu or Tate and while Black will be very good player eventually right now he is basically just a rebounder who can get you some garbage points at times. And when Starks is out there he is kills you at the other end of the court.

I'm really not going to miss watching Egwu play basketball. Plays really hard and solid defensively but he is has the rare combination of lacking any skill or basketball IQ on the offensive end. Throw in that he just isn't the athlete he was before he hurt his back in high school and you have a really bad offensive player.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) NCAA basketball and NBA officials are the worst referees out of any sport. It's unreal. It is easily the hardest of the major sports to officiate so that isn't shocking but NBA refs are infinitely better than college refs.

Kirk Hinrich blows. Anyone who thinks that guy can still play basketball is a f***ing moron.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) I don't think thats the rule. If an illinois player touches it first, sure, but not a straight pass/tip It is. No one has possession in that situation so Purdue has never established possession in the frontcourt for there to be a backcourt violation.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 11:06 PM) I mean...these officials. That was an obvious over and back No it wasn't. You can tap the ball backwards off a miss shot and if it goes into the backcourt it isn't over and back.

Malcolm Hill is doing a hell of a job fighting Hammons in the post right now with Egwu in foul trouble. Fantastic game by Leron Black tonight. He seems to be coming on the way Hill and Nunn did last year.

0 points and 0 assists in 27 minutes for Hinrich. Just an unbelievably awful player on the offensive end. And it isn't like he is great defensively anymore.

Kirk Hinrich is so terrible.

Why is Brady still in? So dumb.

Catch the f***ing ball Herron. My god what an awful series by him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 06:31 PM) WTF was GB thinking playing with no safety help over the top? Really? They completely melted down. Awful by everyone except for a couple offensive players down the stretch.

And the choke is complete. Now people are going to suck Russell Wilson's dick even though he was f***ing awful today.

A play that I haven't seen discussed but on Wilson's 4th pick why did the Packers DB just go down? He had a lot of room and if he actually returns that this game is probably over. So many fluky and weird plays were necessary for Seattle to have this in OT. They have some magic going on today.

Brandon Bostick will go down as one of the all time goats if the Packers lose this game. What a pathetic play by him. And how does no Packers DB make a play on that 2 pt conversion attempt? Complete meltdown by them.

It makes absolutely no sense that the personal foul against Seattle isn't added to the end of that sack. So basically if your QB is in the process of being sacked you can take a cheap shot at a defensive player and not really be punished? How the f*** does that make any sense?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 03:05 PM) How do you not have a play drawn up out of that time out? Wtf Groce? And yet another late game meltdown. Indiana goes 11-0 in the final 2 minutes. Just terrible. Illinois has seemingly sucked at holding leads since blowing that game against PSU in 2006. That is also the last time I felt genuinely great about the program (and even then recruiting was going horribly). I did feel pretty good last fall when Snider was committed but that quickly tapered off.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) Good game. I felt like the game really turned when the Illini were up by 9 and brought egwu back in the game. Egwu was pretty bad today. It just seemed like a bad matchup for him. He just isn't good. He was playing against a bad frontcourt and he still can't do anything. He is also still a really bad rebounder.

That Leron Black missed bunny is looking like the difference if Illinois loses right now. Too bad cause he played a really good game.

Wow that last call against Egwu was awful. It isn't a foul when you can get the ball cause you are taller than the other guy.

Ahmad Starks playing a fantastic second half. Easily the best he has looked in an Illini uniform. No if only he and Cosby can play well at the same time.

Egwu seriously sucks and looks like the Northwestern game was an aberration for Cosby and not a return to his Seton Hall form.

Ridiculous that the Nunn basket didn't count. Should have been going to the line for a 3 pt play. And I would literally never pass the ball to Egwu unless he was wide open under the rim if I was an Illinois guard. He is horrible in the post, does a s***ty job sealing the guy guarding him and he has terrible hands.
