Ball don't lie mother f***ers.

Wow, f*** off refs. That is the most absurd call I have ever seen.

Seriously, since when are you not allowed to box out a shooter?

Dakich is f***ing awful. Such a whiny b****.

Costello throws Starks out of the way for a rebound and no call. Announcers are so biased for MSU it isn't even funny. Trice barely even got touched there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) I know most illinois fans don't like him, but I think they'll miss some of the things Egwu does next year. ? Thought it looks clearly off Costello. I like that announcers clearly ignore that Costello's hand was in there. Officiating has been ridiculous in MSU's favor in this game. Especially since Costello also got away with a clear foul going for that rebound.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) I know most illinois fans don't like him, but I think they'll miss some of the things Egwu does next year. They will miss him some on defense but he generally is a poor rebounder and he is brutal on offense. Today he has been fantastic. If he played like this all of the time everybody would love him.

And Jaylon Tate just killed Illinois in that stretch. Airballs a wide open 3 which leads to a run out for MSU and then commits an offensive foul.

And Nunn needs to finish that layup but he clearly got fouled there as well. Sigh.

Lol at that not being a foul on Valentine on that shot Hill made. Just incredibly obvious.

Egwu playing his best game of the year so far today. Hopefully Illinois can find a way to steal this one.

So I have to imagine Marcus Foster either transfers out or goes pro after this year right? It is amazing how often Bruce Weber has issues with his best player.

Aaron Bailey transferring from Illinois. That sucks, particularly with how fragile Wes Lunt has proven to be so far in his college career.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 06:36 PM) You know who looked pretty terrible his first year? Jimmy Buckets. How's that working out? Butler was actually pretty solid as a rookie in his very limited minutes.

Classy by the Seahawks here. f*** them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) I'd agree. Gore is right on the edge of a HOF caliber career and all he needs is a bit more longevity. Guys around 10k are in the "hall of very good" range and if they've done something spectacular in the process that could put them in the HOF. A bit more longevity beyond that and that makes them HOF worthy. That would include Bettis. Bettis was about league average or below league average in ypc most years in his career. A guy being mediocre for a long time isn't deserving of being in the hall of fame.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 10:39 PM) Come on man, #6 running back in NFL history total yards, tied at #10 in rushing touchdowns? Pace will get in within a couple years, the NFL does this annoying thing where there's not enough slots so they kinda put people in to make sure they get in, but Bettis was a HOF running back by my standards. Jerome Bettis isn't close to a hall of famer in my opinion. Decent player who was decent for a long time. Should we put every running back in who rushes for 10,000 yards? A guy like Clinton Portis had a much better peak than Bettis, rushed for nearly 10,000 yards but didn't play as long. Should he be in? Give me Terrell Davis all day over Bettis as well. If you put in Bettis you might as well also put in Steven Jackson, Fred Taylor and Corey Dillon, Frank Gore, Warrick Dunn etc. since they were all superior players and rushed for over 10,000 yards.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) And yet Jerome Bettis was elected. Ok then. Nothing screams Hall of Fame like 3.9 yards per carry. Absolutely f***ing ridiculous. Bettis basically got in on longevity and no other reason. The guy only averaged over 4 ypc 4 times in his entire career. Warner, Harrison and Pace (particularly Pace and Harrison) are infinitely more deserving than Bettis.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Great end and win for Duke!! Only 8 scholarship players on their team now and 4 are freshmen It must be incredibly tough to win with 8 McDonald's All Americans and the best Center in the country. I can't fathom trying to win games with that roster.

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.
