I've never seen anything like that in an organized game.
Luka gets calls, just have to take those black and gold goggles off every now and then.
2 very important bad calls gave Illinois 4 free throws late to tie. Really impressed by Nebraska's defense tonight, too bad refs are god awful.
NEB's offense is playground selfishness - Allen, at least. "I got this. I'm gonna keep the ball and force up a shot, no matter how bad it is or how bad it will affect my team".
Cockburn hooked and held the NEB big guy before the NEB foul.
I have no faith in Little Debbie!
ILL being thuggish?? No way!! Don't believe it.
And HOW is that not a ****ing foul!?

That should be a foul on Coburn. ffs. I guess you can just hip check people into the seats on box outs.
This video is worth a watch. Saw it last night. It shows what the announcers tonight were saying about Ayo improving his game since the end of last season. His NBA stock keeps improving. His family does not need him to go pro. Good story.
I posted that accidentally. This board remembers everything you write. A good trick is to cut out everything you wrote but didn't post, then preview it. Then the system forgets it. I didn't watch the whole game to make a good evaluation on the refs.
They’ll let him get his recruits in. 3rd highest class in the B1G this year.
Illinois wasn't much different in Underwood's first year than Nebraska this year. I agree with StormHawk42 that he needs time to get his players in place.
I've never seen a fan base whine more about fouls. Your team is the softest in the league. Everything looks like a foul through your lens.
See, that's the problem, isn't it? Iowa generally plays employing the rules of the game of basketball and is called soft because of it. Other teams in the conference play by the rules of rugby and they're labelled tough. By all rights, the refs should always be on our side, but have been cowed by coaches like Izzo into letting the game devolve into a wrestling match.
Only Iowa plays by the rules. Boo hoo. lol
Cringe AF.
Fran has been in this league 11 years... you’d think he could adjust by now, no?
Nebraska has lost like 26 straight conference games. Their last win was against Iowa last year, embarrassing.
They’ll beat someone this year. They have talent and they play hard. When they add in playing together for 40 min, they’ll win some games. They’re close.
Interesting strategy by Nebraska at the end of regulation. Dribble in place 30ft from basket, then have a teammate come over and stand next to you (bringing his defender with him) with 5 sec left.
Illinois already has two wins over PSU, one over Nebby, one over NW, and their next game is against NW. I wish Iowa played the bottom feeders in the BIG this much!
Also why can't the Iowa/Nebraska game be rescheduled the week of week of February 22. Both teams have the week wide open.

Most Big Ten teams, including Illinois, are ranked higher in strength of schedule than Iowa.

Yeah, I was talking about Big Ten games. I'm sure Baylor, Missouri and Duke, all non-conference games, help Illinois' SOS.
Isn't this roster pretty much all his?
You can't get any dumber players than he has now so I guess there will be some improvements but hes going to rely heavily on transfers every year.
They're so stupid though.
They're never going to play with the organization of a normal team.
Illinois gets to play little Debbie twice and we likely never will play them.. We'll be lucky to finish The BIG in 4th place. Illinois has a much easier sched. We got all of our tough games on the road vs Mich,OSU,Wiscy. Screw the BIG schedulers.
