Indiana / Illinois

Jay Bilas must have arrangements at the conclusion of the game. He has been ripping the officials from the end of regulation through the first OT.

On a lighter note, everytime Welmer gets face time, he is hiking up his trousers.

I didn't really dislike Bilas before this game even though his east coast bias gets out of hand at times. But he was awful. kept saying what a team needs to do and then something else happens. Bilas- they need to drive the lane. guy swishes a three.
hey that wasn't michael jordan

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.

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.

I didn't see the replay on this to watch the clock but thought it was fast. I can't remember the last time I've seen this called...especially with little or no backcourt pressure.

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...

Kind of like a coach who sits down to apple pie at a recruit's house with mom and says he will take care of her boy and make sure he's tucked in at night and graduates. He then bolts for Upper U and a fatter offer the first chance he gets.

Please, any 17-18 year old kid has far better ethics than anyone associated with any big time program.

You're actually trying to apply the concept of ethics to D1 recruiting?

Silly monkey!

Naw, I think that most of both sides share the same lack of ethics when it comes to the recruiting merry-go-round.

The rah-rah, sis boom bah boolsh!t went out of style a long time ago.
