It may have even been longer. I just happened to notice Iowa was in the bonus at that point and Illinois had six fouls.
Illinois Goes The Final 12:26 With One Foul

I just caught the last couple minutes of the game. Officiating is why I don't watch much B1G Ten basketball anymore. Oh, and I saw the highlights of that egregious travel before the half. Lol. JFC. I take it Illinois doesn't get this type of officiating in all their games or they'd likely be undefeated.
So, as usual, the refs sucked. I take it Iowa probably also gave up a lot of easy layups tonight?
Refs were not great but we just stopped getting the ball to Garza. Didn’t even try the last 7-10 minutes. Joe W great from 3 but he’s terrible in traffic. Who else is going to draw a foul?
Refs call fouls close to start the half, after they stack up on opponent, they don't call them. It was normal game except Garza got into foul trouble when he normally doesn't. Can't blame refs. Need better defense.
more like wide open 3's...like no one within 6 feet of the IL shooter open....
Not while I was watching.
But we do still sag out of position for no reason and give up the cross court pass for the wide open 3 from the wing.
There were many opportunities to call one, especially when Connor got hacked after Garza's 4th "foul" of daring to stand his ground behind a massive center. Connor also got destroyed going after a loose ball in the backcourt. If we play these guys again I really hope that all of our fouls on them are hard.
The refs suck, yes.
What sucks even worse? Nobody wants to get into the profession so the demand for refs will always be there but the supply will be mediocre, at best
As much money as the NCAA makes, they could easily pay these guys full-time.
Refs sucking will not be remedied anytime soon.
shoot, i see/hear TV & radio ads all the time, encouraging people to think about being a high school referee.
Ref shortages are at all levels, unfortunately
Well, in fairness, I wouldn't want to be a ref either. Parents act ridiculous at frickin pee-wee games.
And Iowa went 11 minutes and 30 seconds without committing a foul in the 1st half.Wow.... 10 minutes with NO fouls. That's great defense.
Officiating at all levels should do nothing but deteriorate each year going forward.
Until parents, coaches, & players start to behave themselves & treat officials with respect it will forever be a downward spiral.
Not in today’s society of “look at me”. When newer and more ways are developed seemingly weekly for people to play the “look at me” game it’ll only get worse.
Settling for too many 3s won’t get you to the line. When we did we missed the front end of 3 1/1s.
