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

basketball is a very physical game, that doesn’t make all contact a foul. They are certainly letting them play in the post.
Wrong. Basketball is not a physical game or should I say not supposed to be. Contact is allowed, to a point. It’s past that point with Kofi.
 
Illinois will struggle in tournament because they will be in foul trouble with a normal crew.

This is why teams like MSU haven't won a title since 2000.

It's doesn't bode well for the conference to play by a different set of rules than everyone else. Iowa is going to be just fine this NCAA tournament.
 
I wouldn’t mind seeing more of the Toussaint/Bohannon backcourt either. That or Fredrick needs to start getting some shots off. He has been a ghost

****ing worthless officials aside. CJ turning ball over under 10 seconds before halftime and the opponent scoring brought me back to the Gessell/Woodbury era. Ahhhh memories. Ok more beer.
 
We have 8 turnovers and at at least 6 fast break points off them for Illinois. And we’ve missed about 6 point blank shots. And Garza getting owned so far in the paint.

That’s a bigger reason for the halftime score than the refs. Sorry, that won’t be popular on this thread today.
 
Iowa shit the bed on that weird ass CJF pass down the middle of the lane with 6 seconds left in the half. Life WTF was that play? And why with 6 seconds left. Just dumb basketball.
 
Do they still call 3 seconds in the lane? Asking for a friend.... Cockburn might as well pitch a tent in there. Been camping out all day.

CJ was so careless. Could have been another score for us instead of putting Illannoy further ahead.

Been a few lazy/careless turnovers.

Can't do that against a team like Illinois. All of us can admit that Illinois is a really good team. We've made too many mistakes... Good think we are shooting better today that last night!

Refs aren't helping either.

11 FTs for illinois
3 for Iowa
 
We know too many of the B1G Ref names. If we know a refs name or if a ref has a nickname they need to be dismissed.
A few years back there were only a few I could recognize by face and actually knew their name. Now these clown shoes doing these games over and over have become notoriously bad that I recognize almost all of them. And that's not a good thing. If you're really good at that job then nobody SHOULD know you.

We're not losing because of the refs. Sure, there have been some bad calls, but we're losing because we've been sloppy as shit! Bunch of freakin' whiners! Refs don't cause us to make lazy passes! They either get it together or we lose by 20!

How many of the turnovers and fast break points are from Iowa getting fouled? :rolleyes:

not for me. I agree with you. I actually don’t even think Iowa is playing all that poorly. Illinois is just a damn good team. However, Iowa cleans up some of the turnovers and we will be in this till the end.

that call against Jordan was bs though.

Have to have limited turnovers and make some threes in the second half to win this. Make Illinois shoot threes and hope they aren't making them.

We've been sloppy, but there are different rules at each end right now.

You swipe your arm you're going to get called for it every time in that scenario, right or wrong. Shouldn't have been in that position anyways, just a terrible decision by CJ. Worst case scenario there you go in down by 6, you absolutely cannot turn the ball over.
So it’s an automatic foul if you swipe your arm at the ball without contact? I thought officiating involved blowing your whistle when you’re sure an infraction was committed
