January 8, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 10:03 AM) Is it too early to complain about the refs yet? No. I was going to post that in my original. It all depends on how its officiated. The new rules level the playing field for away teams a bit, if its old school then ILL is in for a long night.
January 8, 201412 yr If the Iowa game was any indication, it's going to be called old school with a timely touch foul here and there.
January 8, 201412 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 05:05 PM) 27% from 3pt this year, looks like he's a good fit to replace E. Ross. Sheesh. Watching him last year, he seemed allergic to playing inside the 3 point line. He should be a solid player in Missouri's system if he's not asked to do too much.
January 8, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 05:03 PM) Is it too early to complain about the refs yet? At one point in the GT/Duke game last night, Duke had shot 24 free throws to GT's 2.

It seems like refs have given up with new rules in big rivalry games, wouldn't be surprised if in conference it goes back to normal. For most conferences that's probably good, I'm a little upset if SEC doens't clean it up. I much preferred Big XII basketball than Mizzou's first year in SEC. It was just way too much arm grabbing, clogged lanes and hard hits because frankly a lot of the teams suck and that's how they keep it close.

The problem with "Big Ten Basketball" is that it doesnt prepare you for tournament play.
January 8, 201412 yr Applications to Florida Gulf Coast are up 35% over last year, largely to their tourney run. http://extramustard.si.com/2014/01/08/flor...t-applications/

January 9, 201412 yr Author Over 30 FTs in the first half of Kansas/Ok. Lots of touch stuff being whistled.
January 9, 201412 yr Maybe they should switch back to another game for a while, ugh, not a good start. Watching basketball on ESPN is infinitely better than BTN.
January 9, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 02:38 AM) Egwu, get in the game. Christ Does he know the season has started? Jesus what has happened to him
January 9, 201412 yr Jesus, cant get anything to go in. Meanwhile wisky getting to the line anytime they want.
January 9, 201412 yr 13-3 free throws advantage to wisconsin. And this aint a Bruce Weber jumpshot team.
January 9, 201412 yr 17-4. [/quote The Illini stopped moving their feet on defense the last 10 minutes or so. The refs have been fine, and I dislike both of these teams.
January 9, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 03:53 AM) Groce did not have this team ready to play. Also, Egwu sucks Wisconsin is just flat out better and way, way deeper. Tate has looked completely overmatched of late.

January 9, 201412 yr Illinois should have a few more trips to the line with the contact inside. Shooting so poorly and playing no defense is the reason they're getting bown out. I f***ing hate wisconsin.
