Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[Naborman88]

Players don’t just fall down on a fast break. These refs blow

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

That was a pretty darn annoying series of events that made me have to walk away for a second.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Feed Kofi. LFG.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I was surprised the officiating seemed ok to start, then in one sequence it turned into complete B1G garbage.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

There are 7 games in the Big Ten this weekend. Why must we always have Borowski?

 

[HailtotheChief]

Officiating must improve. No excuse to miss that trip. Plus Kofi is getting shoved when he is shooting. He still could make it but they gotta call that. Just because he is big doesn't make it ok.

 

[CogDog]

Chippy game thus far.

 

[CasualObserver05]

The moment TJD got number 2 you could all but guaranteed the officiating would end up like this.

 

[FloridaMan]

I can definitely handle being beat by a team that is playing harder than us on their home floor. But being put in a hole by ridiculous calls I cannot. How do you go to the monitor and keep that a flagrant foul. B10 owes its fans explanations as to these totally absurd calls. Officials are the only participant in each and every game that have absolutely no accountability and it's inexcusable. It happens game after game.

 

[IceCuban]

Gotta see the ball go through the basket, just too timid right now, especially Kofi. Go up strong and get the foul, these refs aren't gonna give you anything if you finesse it up there.

 

[RML]

I think we'll be fine, but need to get a couple of our shots to fall to get the confidence back

 

[Spokane Illini]

We need to make our FT's this game. Critical.

 

[Keisersose]

We are a much better team than Indiana. Just play your game and you’ll beat them no matter what Bo and Courtney do.

 

[CubsWin]

Missed free throws again.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

We are playing soft at every position.

Is there no official oversight of refs in this league?

 

[hiberto]

they built a lead without TJD in the game. need to take advantage of that time

 

[OrangeLife]

OK, I'm on my way to Bloomington to "talk" to Bo....

 

[Naborman88]

If the Big 10 wants to be a premier conference, they need to get premier officials

 

[Illini_Jack]

Belo doing Belo things

 

[FloridaMan]

Is there no official oversight of refs in this league?

I can't imagine there is. And if there actually is the incompetence goes all the way to the top of the league. Has been the case for 30 years +.

 

[LeinieGuy]

Did Kofi use up all his made shots last game?

 

[madillini4]

Kofi rushing when he wins position. Need that touch.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Kofi got to get going

 

[Bebes_J]

The difference there is the Indiana player fell without being tripped.
