Indiana / Illinois

Full disclaimer that I am completely an Indiana fanboy...

I thought the game was pretty well officiated last night, but there are two plays I would like to get others thoughts on.

1.) Does anybody else have a technical foul at the start of the game for Frazier's "chest bump" during introductions against Gordon? That was a pretty big cheap shot.

2.) I know no one wants to make a call on an 80 foot desperation heave, but I think there has to be a foul on Pruitt against DJ White at the end of the game. There was a similar play in the Rutgers-Maryland women's game this year with less than 1 second to go and the officials (correctly, I believe) called that foul.

Just was wondering if anyone who saw those two plays had a take on them.

I saw the chest bump, it was a cheap shot. Technical? No way.

I saw the renege on his committment before the season - that was a cheap shot. Technical? No way.

Yeah, they always seem to start popping up this time of year.

At least this fanboy will probably be fading back into the woodwork after the first round of the Big Ten tournament this year.

Geeze, how can you get mad at the kid, Gordon, anyway? He was a free agent. That means he gets to accept the best offer.

Indiana just has a higher salary cap. Shrug.

See that's the thing, Illinois didn't think he was a free agent. Apparently the kid's word doesn't mean much.

But, it would've been nice to have him here, if only to teach some of the other IL players how to shoot FT's. Pruitt had a chance to put IL ahead in both regulation and the first OT if he would've made just one...just one lousy FT...one is all I'm asking...
