Whoops... Is that why the game is lacking HD?? Barnburner in the 1st half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but Indiana rushing the court against Minnesota when we were unranked is ridiculous. Show some class for yourself and your school. Beating an unranked team shouldn't be that big of an achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Great game. Great win. Awful rushing the court. But what are you going to do? Bunch of 18-22 year olds trying to get on tv. And gmafb on the refs. Michigan State is clearly the most physical of any team in the Big Ten. "Box out" means to check people out of the way. This was a physical game that I thought was called pretty well considering it's the Big Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the tie up under the hoop was called a foul all night. I wouldn't expect Illinois fans to ever admit they got the benefit of the doubt from refs though.

College basketball just this year implemented the continuation rule, the goal being that guys shouldn't be able to grab a guy whose blown passed them just to stop them from scoring. If it's all a continuation it counts. That's exactly what happened. I think that one was pretty debatable, i'll grant you that, but it's a game at Illinois with Illinois making a run. Teams that go to the basket get the benefit of those calls in every game. I disagree on the tie up. Yeah he was grabbing arm/hands, but that's the way they let them play the whole game. A foul would have been a bail out call, he was going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a national game with about 90% people from the midwest or alums watching.

Personally, I expect homering for almost every team, but it may be seen more here just because we have alot of Illini fans on the site. The one thing that I notice that the Illini get unfairly is placement in the Tourney, now that could just be me but I remember alot of years where the Illini were placed lower than expected (by journalists, not just Illini fans) and/or placed in unfavorable locations.

LittleHurt05 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Demetri McCamey, WOW. Good win for the Illini, but still gotta beat some more teams that are better to secure a bid. Orange Krush represented well during the day but I definitely didn't like the rushing of the court vs. a conference rival whose best player was out. Then again, most of those kids havent seen much success from the team the last few years, so I guess I understand. As far as the refs go, we definitely got some calls at the end, especially the BP3 continuation where I didnt even see a foul in the first place. Any basketball game is gonna have a team feeling biased off the refs though, especially a team on the road. It kinda sucks, but its such a tough game to officiate.

We didn't win anything yet. I agree 100% but I guess the kids in school now havent seen any real basketball success. I did like K-State two weeks ago beating #1 Texas and not rushing the court. Then again, if we want to be an elite program like Indiana, then we should rush the court every time we beat a highly unranked team like Minnesota.
