CLOSE THE HALF STRONG

HAHAHAHAHA oh my god the foul call they just highlighted on ESPN...wow. That sucks for Brandon

Why was that a travel on Tisdale? Not complaining about the refs, honestly asking, why? Please extend this lead, Wisconsin won't shoot 20% all day boys

Take care of the damn ball DJ!

Keller shouldn't ever play...just my opinion of course. But c'mon, he does NOTHING

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) I was waiting for an Illinois fan to bring that up I mean seriously though, the point is valid.. Don't like the inability to build a lead while they are shooting pathetically.

Hahaha, ironically Leuer just got credited with an and-one very similar to Mccamey's that was debated here in last weekends game

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) I think Leonard has the highest ceiling of any player in the state. He has a lot to work on but 7 footers with his athleticism are incredibly rare and he is also fairly skilled. Agreed, Leonard has an almost limitless ceiling. I am so excited to see what he can do for this team.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) Waukegan and Jereme Richmond playing for 2nd straight Sectional title tonight. I hope, on a daily basis, that Richmond will provide more his freshman year than DJ/BP have this year.

Meaningful games for this Illinois basketball season will be finished in roughly 2.5 hours

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) Memphis go pop. Thank God

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 06:42 PM) Fairfield's going to burst someone's bubble if they upset Siena here. Is Siena considered a tourney team if they lose? Looking around a bit, most things on ESPN like Bubble Watch and Bracket Math don't have them as an at-large team should they lose.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Well if Illinois were the #6 seed instead of the #5, they'd play Penn State. Penn State has shown itself to be dangerous lately, so that wouldn't even be a sure thing. I suppose. I just don't even really know what to say at this point, such an outrageously disappointing finish to the season. This has to be one of the mentally softest/weakest teams in America.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) No you're right, my bad. I think they play Wisconsin again. Yeah Wisconsin again on Friday, awesome... It would be better to be lower than the 5th seed just to add a win against a subpar team on Thursday

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) Illinois can still get in if they win Thursday (although if they only win 1 in Indy, it'd be very close a la 2007.) But considering it's a team that really has no heart, no intelligence, and questionable coaching, combined with being in a free fall, why would anybody assume they can do that? Finish the regular season with 3 straight home losses, 4 home losses out of 6 games, and 5 losses out of 6 overall. An impressive collapse when a tourney bid once seemed a pretty safe bet. Not that is really matters but won't they be playing their first game on Friday?

f*** every one associated with this team you are all a true embarassment. Have fun in the NIT ass clowns

If I was high enough to proclaim that wisconsin was getting the edge at this point I wouldn't even bother posting obviously. On another note I truly despise this team

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) I said this game is a joke because the refs have completely sucked. If you cant see that, then I dont know what else to say. And its not commenting about a foul or 2, thats fine, there are going to be questionable calls. But you said that this game hasnt been called in favor of Illinois, and thats just not true. Not that i dont expect that theyll get calls, but dont act like some how Wisconsin has been given a break here. How many times do I have to say that was posted halfway through the first half

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) You said that right? Because this has been one of the worst homer games I have seen in my life. You can read all my posts on the boards, Ive probably said that less than 5 times. This game is a joke. I said mccameys 2nd foul sucked over an hour ago and I said that wad an and one. Yup pinning the whole game on the refs. You are right.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) lol Illini hasnt scored from the floor in 10 minutes and your complaining about the refs? Their last 12 points have been on ft's. Remind me where I complained about the refs besides saying that was an and one. Thanks bud

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) What? The refs are trying to give this game to the Illini and they aren't even close. Hughes and Leur both with 4 fouls. The fouls are 14-8 to in favor of Illinois and I believe that 1 foul has been called on them in the 2nd half. Its not the refs, they are the only reason Illinois isnt down by 20. That post had nothing to do with Mccameys second foul thanks. Also that was made in the first half so good call there. And you know as well as anyone total fouls are a retarded way to gauge officiating.

That's an and one...just sayin

I wish they would at least act like they cared holy f***. Show some f***ing fight

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) That's called every time though. It was a flop by Taylor though, and I hate teams that teach that to their defensive players. It's disgraceful. He was already tripping over his own feet before any contact with Demetri

Don't wanna hear anyone saying Illinois is getting homer calls today, this crew is clueless. Mccameys 2nd foul was a joke
