MBB v Illinois BTT Open Thread
I only started one other MBB game thread this year and it was for Illinois and that one turned out well. Hopefully twice is still a charm.
GO BLUE!
Foul calls even out and we got this.
Having watched the Syracuse game the other day, this looks incredibly familiar.
Nik has to touch the ball time to take the game over and put this away. He's sitting in the corner waiting for the ball. Go get it.
Energy level has really fallen off these past few minutes here. Disappointing because they'd really picked it up defensively for a stretch there.
Sparty fans are cheering for Illinois in the stands. Dicks.
It's tournament basketball...what do you expect?
This is frustrating to watch.
This zone is killing us
for three!
by GRIII.
Bad shot by Walton there.
Walton, WTF. That's not your shot. How do you take that now?
Ugly shot by Walton. Rushed it
Would have been huge if Walton could have hit that.
We can't defend without fouling. Hell, we can't defend with fouling.
I want to see Coach riding the refs about the foul calls difference.
I am all for bitching about refs, but the calls in this game are not bad. We are fouling too much. simple as that. The refs are largely getting the calls right. Our defense today has been BAD and we have just gone cold on offense. That is the one concern about being a team that relies on outside shooting so heavily - you can always have a cold spell, and if that spell lasts too long or comes against a decent team, you might not recover in time to salvage victory.
I hate these refs. And Illinois' fans. And the commentators. Pretty much everything.
...get stops and a few run outs and the game is over. We cannot sustain a halfcourt game. We can play it for awhile, but not an entire half.
Get stops.
Horford is not good in the middle of the 1-3-1.
How do teams continue to shoot unbelievably well against us from the FT line?
Haahahahahaha of course they called a foul.
FUCK! Why don't we damn drive to the hoop?
These calls are getting weak.
Very late call. Not looking good for us.
come on. that's such a charge.
And he's a better defensive player...not sure why we went back to Spike.
FUCK YOU REFS
Sign of the apocalypse?
About damn time with the foul call. Now if we could get Nik to active...
Nice disappearing act by our offense.
Enough 3's...go to the fucking basket.
Jesus H. Chris this offense has done nothing lately.
It really does look like these refs have been paid off
How is that NOT a continuation after all the bullshit in the other direction against all all goddamn year?
That was absolutely an and-1
Just a disaster of a game.
Shot probably should have counted.
DRIVE to the basket - well done Mr. LeVert.
again and again and again and again
yuck
Do we panic now, or do we panic later?
