Yeah...agree....I am trying to figure out who we want to win this one? Much better match-up for Iowa vs IU and their friggin crowd too but to play and if you have to lose to a team, it would be a better loss against the Illini.....but I want to win the whole damn thing, right.....so IU?

I think that's the right analysis all around. Can't find myself cheering for anybody really though.

You think the crowd makeup changes much? Lol, it’s 50/50 at best, orange everywhere.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Really “clean” half by the Illini:

Only 4 team fouls.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Auburn can't shoot.

 

[brownd7949hawks]

cockburn can’t go 4 minutes without being gassed. And just pushes ppl all the time. Crazy they don’t call it.

 

[Franisdaman]

Fook the Illini!!

Go Hoosiers!!!!

 

[fezzador]

They're only down 4 and there's 9 and change to go, but I get the feeling that the Illini are in some trouble.

 

[WadeLookingbill]

Curbelo is such a little weenie (technical term).

 

[HawkRugged17]

Indiana 52 - Illinois 46 with 9:30 to go.

Pearl needs 3 more sets of shirts.

 

[IowaHawkIT]

I wonder if Cockburn has ever been called for 3 seconds?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Didn't he play for Puerto Rico?

 

[BigOHawk]

I wonder if Cockburn has ever been called for 3 seconds?

Nope that call doesn't exist.

 

[Hawkman34]

1st, I can't stand the Illini.
2nd that was an AMAZING pass by Curbelo

No I agree......the destination to play is a hell of a lot closer to travel for IU 50 miles and UIlini fans 125 miles to UIowa 365 miles......seriously that just sucks for those teams who do NOT get an advantage for their fans to be there......on a Friday afternoon too.....damn home game.....

Our BIG Ten Champion women's team just beat the crap out of teams and IU in Indianapolis to win the title and traveling 365 miles to do it, that's quite an accomplishment btw...........bring it on.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Indiana 62 - Illinois 59 with 2:45 left.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Helleva start to today's BIG tournament

 

[StormHawk42]

[Chishawk1425]

Wtf was Thompson thinking not giving that up to TJD

And now this

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Indiana chokes away back to back layups...

 

[Chishawk1425]

Indiana chokes away back to back layups...

Yep

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Helleva start to today's BIG tournament

Love this time of year!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Wow. 2 chances for Indiana after steals and they miss/blow both. Indiana 62- Illinois 61 with 1:41 left.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Illinois shot clock violation ... both teams struggling on the offensive end.

 

[WadeLookingbill]

No one wants to shoot for Illinois

 

[WadeLookingbill]

Can feel everyone tighten up, must be one-and-done season!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Indiana miss and Illinois ball ... timeout. Illini down 1 with 41 seconds (13 on shot clock).

 

[fezzador]

And Kofi still only has 2 fouls called on him today

 

[ssckelley]

Illinois is trying to give Indiana this game and they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

BTW, don't you just LOVE this neutral court crowd? It's vert loud for both teams, tomorrows game will not be a "neutral" court.

 

[fezzador]

And now they call a foul on Cockburn lol, he's gotten way with much more

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kofi gets the ball in the lane and fouled with 33 seconds to go. 2 FTs ...

Make ... Make ...

Illinois leads by 1 and Indiana ball .

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Cockburn has been clutch at the line

 

[nbanflfactory]

Il is is definitely Cockburn and 4 scrubs. Indiana is one sloppy ass bunch of underachievers

You forgot their refs...

 

[fezzador]

If I were IU I'd foul up 1

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kofi fouls TFD and 2 FTs with 26 seconds left. One and One ...

Make ... Make ... and Indiana leads by 1.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Illinois timeout with the ball ... 15.3 seconds remain and IU leads by 1 ...

 

[ssckelley]

I think both of these teams need to play about 3 overtimes.

 

[fezzador]

Wow, what a lousy pass LOL

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I think both of these teams need to play about 3 overtimes.

I'd we didn't have to wait on them... They could play 8 OTs for all I care
