good call!!!

Ehhh, I had to look it up. It doesn't take much effort to look at both their non-conference schedules.

We have easily our biggest game of the year tonight. We're in Omaha to face Creighton and the Jays are expecting a record crowd for this game, it's going to be crazy. We need this game big time. If we win this one, the worst off we can be is a game behind UNI with them coming to Carbondale on Tuesday. If we lose this game we're two games back in conference with at least two teams ahead of us in the standings.

 

I guarantee this will be a different SIU team than whatever the hell that was on Wednesday. These guys will be ready to go and I believe we are the better team. We need this game big time and we've never lost in the Qwest Center, I expect us to win a nail biter here. Should be a fun one.

 

On a side note, after this game we'll only have 3 conference road games left.

illinois and wisky on tap in about an hour and a half. would have to give the badgers a huge edge in this one, unless illinois plays better than they have all year.

depaul shooting free throws worse than the illini today against louisville

It is time.

 

I feel good.

 

LETS GO ILLINI

We are the biggest free throw shooting joke of all-time.

 

f***in hell

 

Marquette begs to differ.

hey mcbride, learn to pass please

 

also randle is the biggest waste of talent in a long time

Tucker gets away with f***ing murder, that's a f***ing joke

 

Suck a dick refs

whatever happened to the orange krush?? they havent done anything this game, are they asleep?

 

we cant get the ball to a better shooter? please!

 

also these refs made some poor calls

Great f***ing effort Illini, good game Wiscy. Too bad the game wasn't decided entirely by players. Tis how it works when a star is on the floor I suppose.

jamar smith is awful on his ankles, randle makes the stupidest fouls ever, and we can't get our big man enough touches down low

Most damning loss of the season for Illinois IMO. The fans will b**** that the refs decided it (even though they didn't, Illinois' lack of athletcism is why they always foul so much). Illinois played as well as they can, and STILL lost, at home, by 7. That is just a sign that your players aren't good enough, which is an indictment of the recruiting. I'll never regret the Illini losing Self, but I regret the man they hired to replace him. Thad Matta was there, but instead, Ron Guenther and his lack of creativity heads to Carbondale.

Actaully our athleticism had nothing to do with any of the blatantly f***ed up calls. Like Tucker flailing his arms into Randle and getting a foul in the first half, or a Wisconsin player bricks a shot off the side of the backboard out of bounds and it's called out on Illinois when it was clearly never touched, or where Tucker puts Frazier on the floor after a loose ball, or when Landry clearly charges before the ball was released and it wasn't even close.

 

Would these calls have changed the game, who knows? But they were still clearly wrong no matter what way you look at it.

Oh please, the only piss poor call was the basket by Landry counting and I doubt it matters. Both teams shot the same amount of free throws almost, and Wisky made theirs, unlike Illinois. That and talent level is why Wisky won the game.

You doubt the Landry call matters? If that basket is no good Randle is shooting 2 FT's for the tie...

 

And you obviously didn't watch the whole game if that Wiscy shot off the side of the backboard was not piss poor.

You don't shoot free throws on an offensive foul, so no he wouldn't have been. The reason Randle got free throws was the foul was called after the shot, thus wasn't an offensive foul. If Randle makes both of those free throws (which of course, he didn't), the only net the call has is Wisky has the ball instead of Illinois.

 

And yeah, that side of the backboard call was bad, but I was just talking about fouls, plus that was in the first half.

So we have the ball with a chance to tie, same concept, no?
