January 26, 200521 yr Wisconsin is just damn good at home. My boys (Michigan St) had them down 8 with 2 mins to go there and f***ing lost. Something about that home court takes them to victory.
January 26, 200521 yr anyone else thinking this is getting away from illinois? How about an offensive rebound once in awhile?
January 26, 200521 yr I thought the first ten minutes of the game, the refs were favoring ILLinois a bit. I don't want to hear ref excuses, that's crybaby crap. We still might come back and win this if we start playing with less urgency and more composure
January 26, 200521 yr Referee excuses are the worst in the book. Great teams win, regardless of the circumstances.
January 26, 200521 yr WOW. Now we might get to see mroe cohesion on offense now that we aren't down 8. Should be a great finish
January 26, 200521 yr Wisconsin had 2 fouls in the first half and Illinois had 9 so who had the advantage?
January 26, 200521 yr QUOTE(LauraJ14 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Wisconsin had 2 fouls in the first half and Illinois had 9 so who had the advantage? Like I said, if that is the way you look at a game, then you are just looking for an excuse. Bottom line is that in college hoops, the home teams has an advantage for several reasons, not just how many fouls are called. Blaming the referees for anything to do with the outcome of the game is just a lame excuse, IMO. And hell, Illinois looks like they may win this one still.
January 26, 200521 yr Man, this is nuts. I'm shaking and my heart is going nuts. PLEASE PULL THIS OUT!
January 26, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) Man, this is nuts. I'm shaking and my heart is going nuts. PLEASE PULL THIS OUT! If Illinois is going to lose a regular season game, this might not be a bad one to lose. You never wanna go into the big dance undefeated, at least that's the way I see it. While you never would want to lose a game, this wouldn't be a bad loss considering the circumstances.
January 26, 200521 yr I don't use fouls as an excuse when my team loses but I want the ref's to be fair, when Augustine or Powell go up for a basket and are knocked to the ground and no foul is called then I don't want to see Powell getting fouls called against him when he touches a guy. That's all I want, the call to be the same on both teams!~
January 26, 200521 yr Illinois looking good now, you all may get your wish. I'm definitely looking forward to Illinois @ Michigan St next Tuesday, should be a good one.
January 26, 200521 yr I rather lose the game in the Big Ten Tournament because by them the Seeds are pretty much determined by that Saturday anyways!
January 26, 200521 yr Cheat Jr, they let UofI go on something like a 10-0 run in the last two minutes. They choked hard. Also, 5-12 (I think) from the line? Pitiful.
January 26, 200521 yr I am as shocked we won as some of the Wisconsin fans. This team showed me something today after that 12-0 Wisconsin run to start the 2nd half.
January 26, 200521 yr Wow. YES! YES YS YES YES YES YESY ESYTS, I swear I thought I was gonna have a f***ing heart attack. Oh man. NOW PULL THIS OUT BUlLS. Im still f***ing shaking, damn, im gonna die a young death.
