He_Gawn Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Illinois is so freaking bad. I almost want to feel bad... Wait, no I don't. Its really quite comical how one team can struggle this bad with free throws. Couldn't have happened to a nicer coach and fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont get all the hate for Illinois and Weber. Indiana? Are you kidding me. If it wasnt for that whole Eric Gordon situation, the roles would be entirely reversed. Gordon and Pruitt is just the same as Gordon and White. Not to mention you actually talk about Bruce Weber?? How many recruiting violations does Bruce Weber have? Any team can make noise when they hire guys like Huggins, Sampson, etc who are willing to do anything to get players, willing to break any rule to win. But dont expect to get any respect for it. As for KU, come on, when is the last time the great KU was in the NCAA finals? Its easy to be a big fish in a little pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 02:54 PM) Who are the refs today??? Just wondering? Not in the box score yet. But all I know is I come away from nearly every Big 10 game (not just Illinois) I watch thinking the refs did a poor job. No consistency with the calls they make and I hate the way the conference is officiated in general. In the first half today the refs let both teams play. Then for a short period they called any contact at all. Then all of a sudden they decide to let the game get physical again. There just is no consistency from game to game or even from minute to minute in the way they call the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In games where the games are tight and fouls are called, a team needs depth. That was the problem today though. It was tight at times and very loose at others. It was basically completely random. And when you miss FTs the way Illinois did today and turn the ball over constantly you aren't going to win. That was never the point of my post today. I'm just sick of watching Big 10 refs blow calls constantly and just randomly change the way they are officiating games.

You do realize that most of these guys work multiple conferences and are just referees hired to work games. There isn't a whole lot to the "Big Ten" ref thing.

Rowand44 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Well we're still better than the 2 worst teams in the Valley. So that's good news. Mini Rant: We've lost on two buzzer beaters this season and we also lost a game where we blew a 9 point lead in the last 4 minutes. We win those 3 games like we should have and this whole season is completely different. Obviously, good teams usually find a way to win those types of games but it sucks to think about what could have been. sigh.

You are reading it exactly right. Purdue and Kentucky are Indiana's rivalries. Michigan State at times is a bigger game than Illinois. Whether Illini fans like it or not - it is not our fault they don't have a real rivalry of their own - the Illini just aren't that important to the Hoosiers. If they want to fight for #3 status on our rivalry board and feel important about that, go right ahead. Beyond that, they are just another Big Ten team, albeit with a lound and annoying fan base.

greasywheels121 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Or not... I've got to disagree with you a bit Rex. Yes, Purdue and Kentucky are our primary rivals--always will be. However, I consider Illinois to be a huge rival in the past few years. And I know I'm not the only one to feel that way on campus, not by a long shot.

And I know I'm not the only one to feel that way on campus, not by a long shot. Why because of the Gordon thing? Because they were good a few years ago? Because they have whiny fans and you deal with them regularly on message boards? I just don't see it being anything more than temporary. Illinois is like the little brother that just won't leave you alone. He'll put up a good fight on occasion and won't ever go away, but you still don't take him completely seriously. Over the long run, Illinois is not one of IU's principal rivalries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
