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.

Yikes... A 10-second count by the freshman!

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

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.

In real time, I thought it was quick. However, the shot clock was down to 24 when he called the violation.

When the shot clock got to 25 the official (I believe it was Hillary) straddled the halfcourt stripe, and when it hit 24 and the player had a foot still in the halfcourt, he signaled the violation.

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.
