Frazier actually started the aggressive defense against the MSU player just trying to burn the clock down, driving him to the center line corner. That's where Ayo stripped him from the opposite side, just as the camera switched to handshakes.
This is on their asshat coach, and is exactly the kind of behavior that kept the Hawks aggressively playing offense last year, instead of running clock.
They deserve being the Whining Illini. They do not know how to win or lose with appropriate sportsmanship.

It is also on the referee. When the guys get up on them at the end of the game, they need to call a foul like they would at any other point. This is what led to the altercation in the ISU came a couple years ago. Connor was trying to run out the clock, ISU were pressuring/fouling him, and the referee didn't call it. Illinois did the same to us last year so we passed it down court to Wieskamp for the dunk. Refs need to play to the end as well!
Wasn't this the same team crying and throwing a fit because Weiskamp got an outlet pass in the last 20 seconds and dunked it instead of pull it out and dribble out the clock last year. Seem to remember their assistant coach throwing a tantrum in the handshake line.
Kid is a competitor, I had no problem with what he did.
Kudos to MSU. If they would have scored or *gasp* dunked the basketball, they would have got yelled at by the Illinois assistants and told they don't know the unwritten rules of basketball. And if MSU reacted, in any way, they would have been blasted on social media.
Then you have a problem with what he did against Penn State. Can’t have it both ways.
ok but the difference is when weezy dunked it was the team that was ahead . illinois was behind , i dont expect them to quit playing .
do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt he did what he did against PS for the same reason ?
showing me a video of what happened does not change my statement . remember the " shadow of a doubt " ? just saying .
IL was pressuring the ball against IA though. Was Wieskamp supposed to just dribble it around only to get pressured some more?
I very much dislike Illinois program, coach, and players on this team. They tend to be obnoxious IMO!
Matt is a beat reporter for MSU football and basketball.
I agree with him.
I agree with him.
When the team with the lead is up in this case by 10+, with the shot clock no longer an issue, the accepted action is to dribble out the remaining seconds. For many reasons this is how it is done. Don't give me "the kid is a competitor" garbage. He was padding stats in what was a below average game for him. Other teams took notice guaranteed.
If Underwood continues to allow Ayo to play garbage minutes and stuffing the stat sheet in an attempt to bolster his claim for NPOY, then I won't shed a single tear if he ends up getting injured and missing the rest of the season. Hard to understand a B10 coach allowing that, that's not a team goal, it's just garbage.
Kid is a competitor, no doubt. Why else would he still be in a game, up 36 points and under six minutes left? Competing!!!
Your opinion on this is just that. If an Iowa player pulled something like this, I would be embarrassed by that player and upset with Fran.
Seeing how Fran’s reacted the several times this has happened to Iowa over the years, I could never see Fran’s guys doing something this bush league. If they did, I’d expect a major ass chewing from Fran behind the scenes.

The damn game was over and it was time to display some dignity and exhibit some good sportsmanship. The fools like you and the Illinois player with the Sideshow Bob hairdo wouldn't know about that.
I like Bardo as an analyst because he understands basketball, he knows the league, and he knows the players pretty well. He likes to be positive about the players in the game he's calling, but if he said that, he went way too far in that direction.
Bardo actually went to Illinois 30+ years ago, same as me. He just responded tonight to a post of mine on youtube. I said the game yesterday reminded me of an old-school physical Big Ten game, but MSU went too far with the flagrant foul(s). He agreed that the cheap shots were unnecessary, but it's on Illinois to be ready for the physicality. That's one reason I don't so much mind a loss, to toughen up a team for the postseason. The flagrant elbows to the head on Kofi and Ayo were completely unnecessary. The Illini were not happy at the end of that game, and that's why I think they played to the final whistle. Ayo's stat-padding is apparently one rebound (to get a triple double), one steal and one layup (two points). That will have practically no impact on his season averages.

Please, I doubt it was stat packing as much as a frustrating loss. OP your hate is showing alittle too much.
I agree with this post. Remember some of his missed free throws were after taking a flying elbow to the bridge of his nose by the MSU goon. That by far was the most outrageous moment of the night, followed by the monumentally mind-blowing bad call by the ref when the ball hit him out-of-bounds after bouncing off the knee of a MSU player. Jomboy needs to do a breakdown on that play.
p.s. Is that Jim's Journal in your avatar? Same question for Rambler Hawk.

I'll say it again, Bardo invites basketball fans to ask your hard-hitting questions, and it's practically an open door because there are so few people on his channel. He gets a lot of questions from Facebook users during his live chats but hardly any from youtube.
I have been reading your posts the last two nights and do appreciate your input and the civility in how you respond to others. Thank you!
He's also an MSU grad. Wonder if he is concerned about the optics of the ejected MSU player crashing down on the nose of Ayo (with intent to injure, IMO).
Yes, it is Jim's Journal. I have found that you either love Jim's Journal or you hate it. Very little middle ground.

JJ is hilarious. I remember when it first came out in the '80s while I was at school and the Daily Illini carried it. People asked what is going on here? It was like there was no point to it. Jim just took a nap or something, and that was the strip of the day. Of course it was created by Scott Dikkers, who also created The Onion.
EDIT: "I didn't do anything today." LOL!

Obviously Ayo is reacting not to the end-of-game defense but to the extended arm of the PSU player pushing Curbelo to the floor.
