***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[denguegopher]

If there is a loose ball, it’s ours! C’mon guys.

 

[howeda7]

The Rigsby magic is gone...

 

[howeda7]

Maybe it’s just me but shouldn’t Johnson be chewing on the refs. That was ridiculously bad no calls.

He never does.

 

[stocker08]

Refs aren't even attempting to call this game even.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Frank really got up there.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Awesome block by Frank.

 

[Gilthorp57]

The Rigsby magic is gone...

Reserved for road games

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

We're outshooting IL but are behind because they've had 7 more shots (including half a shot for each free throw attempt). That's mostly attributed to rebounding differential at this point.

 

[Gilthorp57]

These refs are afraid of Underwood is the only I can see. Two straight illini travels right in front of me.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

We've missed quite q few bunnies already.

 

[GophersInIowa]

If we just made half the shots at the basket we’d be right with them.

 

[TNGophfan]

Getting killed on boards.

 

[nitramnaed]

Okay. Just able to tune in.
Take it from me. We are wearing white a guaranteed win!

 

[BarnBurner]

No bitching about officials today.

 

[Gilthorp57]

It's amazing, Illinois has a brand new team, and they are still good. Yes...a little jelly.

 

[LesBolstad]

No bitching about officials today.

What? They're horrendous. And Gentle Ben stands there with his thumb up his ass as we get jobbed at home

 

[ShushPush]

Why is tiny Patterson defending their big man under the rim?

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Come on Ben

 

[stocker08]

lol these refs

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

We're really getting shafted. I guess the conference doesn't want Brad's team falling to .500.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Why is tiny Patterson defending their big man under the rim?

Help side defense non existent

 

[Gilthorp57]

No bitching about officials today.

Illinois doesn't need help, but they are getting it

 

[GophersInIowa]

No bitching about officials today.

The refs are horrible tonight

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

I wish Patterson fought as hard on the defensive end as the offensive end.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Ridiculous to call a foul on the other side of the court when you have the worst vantage point of the 3 officials.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Mitchell does nothing. There’s no reason he gets the minutes he does.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Mitchell does nothing. There’s no reason he gets the minutes he does.

Yeah, I don't know what's happened to him.

 

[ShushPush]

Illinois is going to go to the back door all night. I would. Nobody is covering the hole. No wonder they are outscoring in the paint. The smallest Gopher is always the defender due to failure to switch properly. Illinois will exploit this til the end of time. This is a fault of Ben Johnson not adjusting the team.

 

[Blackhammer]

Basically a layup drill for Illinois. We have taken away the three to some extent but the defense has been bad.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

We're not playing a terrible game but they're dominating the boards and are moving the ball around much better (13 assists to our 7). Not adjusting on defense as much as they need to either.
