*****Official Iowa Vs Illinois Game Thread*****

[longliveCS40]

I love Joe T's defense but he's always going to be a liability on offense I'm afraid. No jumpshot and careless with the ball.

 

[Slim45]

Officiating is fine.

For illinois it is. Wat are they sitting on, 1 foul? Lol

 

[HawkBall23]

Illinois - and Wisconsin - better hope they get B1G refs for their NCAA Tourney games, because they gonna have a very short stay if the rules are enforced by the book.

 

[Mitch122]

Any way Fran doesn’t get T’d today? I know I’d be getting close if I was coach

 

[Eternal Return]

It's going to be impossible for anyone to beat ill if the refs let them play like this.

 

[Franisdaman]

No remedy for the Cockburn so far.

we need to scratch where it itches

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

The holds away from the ball on CJ and Weezy are nauseating...

 

[Hawkfan_08]

We cannot win games officiated like this. It is being called equally terrible. We have got to get hands on their guys the whole game.

 

[AwkHawk]

Lol we don't look nearly as good of a team as Illinois.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

Maybe not but the amount of physical play allowed on one half of the court compared to the other doesn’t help

 

[BioHawk]

The NCAA needs to start pulling any Big 10 officiating crews if there are any scheduled for the tournament. This is a national embarrassment.

 

[hawkeyekid]

Man that went from 3 to 9 real fast.

 

[HawkamongstGophers]

Wow, we are stinking it up.

with Illinois fouling every time IA touches the ball it’s tough to play.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Why doesn’t Weezy ever look for Garza on the flare off the screen. Garza’s guy has to come out and get a hand up on him and he’s wide open every time.

We’re shooting lights out and down 9. This is going to be a blowout unless we stop turning the ball over and stop giving up points in the paint. Make them beat you from behind the arc

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Garza needs to take a charge from cock burn one of these times when he’s getting backed down. Cock burn is just slamming into him every time he has the ball.

 

[QChawks]

Need to get this to around about 7-8 by half or it’s gonna get out of hand

 

[denmar81]

2 hands on the ball by both players is considered control by both which is a jump ball.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

It's going to be impossible for anyone to beat ill if the refs let them play like this.

Won't happen in the NCAAs

 

[HawkInArk]

We’re getting embarrassed. And looking embarrassing. Crying for calls, falling on the floor. Out hustled.

Looking outclassed so far.

Bingo.

 

[ISPHawk]

and that’s not a foul because why??

1 because B1G refs suck and 2 we are soft.

 

[CyberJJ]

Great screen by Luka to free JBo for deep 3.

I think that part of his game is not noticed enough. He is a good screener and usually keeps his hips in where others don’t which helps him avoid fouls he picked up as a freshman.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Illinois is a great team, but the officiating is definitely one-sided. Still, Iowa can't compete with their athleticism.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Go ahead and rest the starters. Not a winnable game.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I love Joe T's defense but he's always going to be a liability on offense I'm afraid. No jumpshot and careless with the ball.

Huh? He's had plenty of pull up jump shots this year.

 

[biggreydogs]

Let’s Try Perkins

 

[haw-key]

This game is being officiated from one side only and it’s pathetic.

 

[drew_hawk]

Can't compound bad officiating by whining instead of getting back on D.

 

[percyland]

The refs are letting them play. Adapt and be aggressive. Illinois just wants it more right now

And no that wasn’t a foul on Joe T they just muscled it away from him.

 

[wilson reborn]

JFC

I’m a fan, and I know he’s been fouled, but he’s trying to do too much

 

[jhawk23]

It's good to know that travelling is now legal in basketball.

3 steps on that dunk

 

[indy1203]

Holy shit Joe just got mugged and nothing... what the actual f is happening

football

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Again how illinois only has 2 fouls is laughable

 

[AwkHawk]

Watch again

You could see clear as day on the replay the guy behind him grabs him and curbelo proceeds to go through his arms to take the ball.

 

[ChiHawk1985]

Y’all really, really need to stop complaining about the refs. Illinois is just outplaying us. Plain and simple. Tip your caps for now and hopefully the hawks go on a little run before half to gain some momentum

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

It's going to be impossible for anyone to beat ill if the refs let them play like this.

Absolutely -HORRIBLE

 

[IllQChawk]

Toussaint can start punching his ticket to back where he came from. Out of all the athletes that Fran could have recruited from New York he gets mister turnover machine.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Officiating is fine.

iL fan? So it is ok R.I.P. off a guys arm?

 

[cornwelly1234]

This is where it really hurts not having nunge help with cockburn. He was always a better low post defender than garza.

 

[kwik44]

Call a fair game is all I fricken ask. It gets so old watching the one sided crap.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I’m a fan, and I know he’s been fouled, but he’s trying to do too much

Sure.

 

[longliveCS40]

I hope the officials in the tournament call it tight

Garza can’t compete with Kofi if they let him do what he’s doing

Who is they? Iowa? Because it isn't the refs.
