uneblinst's postgame chatter: vol 16; ed 23 - Illinois

[Bugeaters1]

Huskers played better than most thought.  Proud of the fight tonight, playing 8 on 5.

[MichHusker]

Absolutely disgraceful officiating. They physically beat the shit out of us for 45 minutes and we didnt see the bonus until OT because they were stragetically fouling??

[roscoe]

Another reason I don't take Big 10 teams very far in NCAA tourney bracket. Conference refs aren't available to bail their asses out. 

Underwood forgot to mention the refs bailed his whiny ass out.

Illinois shot twice as many FT. was Bull shit. To bad the refs couldn't see the game that we watched.

I’m proud of the way we played tonight.  Thought a lot of things went Illinois way (cough cough refs).  We play like this on the road the rest of the season, we’ll definitely win 1-2 of them. Do that and win our remaining home games, we’ll be dancing.

[basketballjones]

That’s a win in my book don’t care what score says. Got screwed. 

[Huskerpapa]

Yeah, we got homered.   Soon as they got that early T, I knew we wouldn't get calls.

Proud of how we played.  Especially Gary, Mast and Keisei.  

That game should still be a resume maker.

[BjoeHusker]

The effort was outstanding. Just gave up too many offensive rebounds. 

[huskerbill85]

Great effort. Disgusting how Illinois has a player that's been charged with rape and he's still playing 

[Silverbacked1]

That seems to be how the Big is officiated.  Just play like you want, hit, grab, push, just dare the refs to call something,.

 

Then when they do, raise Holy Hell at the officials and let the crowd also intimidate the other team and ref the rest of the night.

 

I think how they call the game in this league has really hurt our teams in the post season.  You try the things that they let the players do during the last what 20 games and then different crew says nope… calls everything and suddenly we (Big 10  teams) can’t change.

Yep, he knows how to get to the hole.

[cipsucks]

I'd rather lose this game and not lose another the rest of the regular season. Just watch!

[Fullbacksympathy]

Good effort.  

 

Next game is a great chance to move up in conference standings against NW.  

[throwback]

Great effort - hell of a comeback. Hope we can build on it Wednesday.

[roscoe]

Anybody else catch Beileins's quote on postgame show. Said NU "was 1 call from winning game". DeCourcey was smiling like yep won that for Illinois.

LOL - quite a different tone from BTN about NU than in 2018. Hope they keep it up.

 

[Bugeaters1]

The comments are in line with what we saw.

Awful. Just awful. 

[tcp]

the illinois players will know they got some home cooking tonight. 

 

let's get a rematch in the tourney....

 

regardless, the B1G really needs to do something about their officiating pool. Not sure what the deal is, but for a power 5 conference, it often looks like we have the worst refs in div 1. 

[Dead Dog Alley]

I haven't seen anything that choreographed since the Lee Oswald prison transfer

I would not want to see that Illinois team again if it were up to me.  Too athletic for us and they are a terrible matchup for us.  Dimes noted this in his pre-game as well.  One thing that helped us get back into it was that they stopped driving.  We couldn't stop them when they were driving.  Then they started to settle for threes.

Yup. I think this team is the worst matchup in the B1G for us. Damn proud of how they played tonight.
