f***ing ridiculous call against Leonard there. Unreal.

Has either team got a point from the bench?

 

Zero on both sides

That's the Paul I saw in high school and that he would be doing more by now. Not 30 points a night but you know what I mean.

Seriously, complaining with how this game's been called? It's been a joke. Of all the questionable calls tonight, that was one of the more obvious ones.

 

What are you talking about? This has been a great game for the officials. They can actually f***ing play instead of going possession for possession with a foul. Just saying Dakich is an idiot for saying that was a good charge call. The guy was totally moving.

I've only been watching since there was 7:29 left, and this has been the case. Paul committed an obvious travel at the top of the key on that play (before he drew the foul) that wasn't called.

Some terrible non-calls, in my opinion. That charge is called 99% of the time by refs, no matter if guys is moving or not. Refs aren't smart enough to look anywhere else but at the offensive players left shoulder.

You know the defender can be moving and it can still be a charge, right?

You should have watched first 5 minutes or so. Leonard with a pretty blatant travel on the first bucket, IIRC. Tirico was still sleeping, so the announcers didn't mention it.

I should modify what I said. The reffing hasn't been terrible, as Jenks said the refs are letting them play. It just seems like the refs think they are in the NBA and letting some obvious stuff go.

Bury a three off the inbound, Brandon.

That's an excellent way to put it

Not sideways like that. He moved into him. That's a blocking foul.

Definitely fair officiating both ways tonight. Wish more games were officiated like this in the Big 10 actually. Makes for much more fluid games.

Bertrand initiated almost all of the contact on that one. Same with the obvious charge they FINALLY called correctly on Sullinger.

Ha, nice call. Paul's an idiot though, could have gotten a T there after the block.

I agree it's way better like this than the IU-Ohio St game, when Sullinger or Zeller breathed and they drew a foul.

BOOM. Brandon f***ing Paul. I said it'd take a career type game. I loved that look by him too. Nice to have Illinois with some attitude. Been about 5 years since we've had that.

If Illinois hangs on, it's just proving the old adage of "Hold serve at home, take what you can on the road" is especially true this year.

The Big Ten is beyond brutal.

Thad might not want to foul Paul. Abrams is pretty bad at the line, probably should try to foul him.

So, does this put Illinois back in the top 25?

Wow, congrats Illini fans

wow. 40 pts. possibly 42. just unheard of in the Big Ten, in conference play, in the modern era

So, does this put Illinois back in the top 25?

 

ya

God, please do not rush the court. have some class.
