IU at Illinois Game Thread 03/01 2 PM BTN

[LamarCheeks 18,306]

Refs didn't cost us the game, but they sure didn't help. 

That missed foul on Al's 3-pointer and the phantom U of I possession and the TO were really, really, really egregious and costly.

Not going to win on the road with every calling going against you in the final minute of a tight game. 

[pumpfake 3,930]

Fischo showing a bit of "attitude" toward the refs.

BRAVO! Don.

[Alford Bailey 12,365]

Shoot a three with time for an offensive rebound in that situation. Playing 8 on 5 at this point.

[theriverpilot 5,589]

I like a lot of what I saw today but this team needs to learn how to win a game like that

I really, truly hate the University of Illinois. 
 

Glad we kept it close.

Piss poor officiating throughout.

To make the tournament. We probably sneak in with 1, but no one wants to risk that

Makes me not want to watch another game this season. What a complete and total joke. I almost NEVER complain about officiating, but that was stolen, pure and simple. 

[Hoosierfan2017 21,064]

I can't watch any other college basketball games other than IU. The officiating is down right embarrassing.

[tomallenfan 120]

Utter BS. Game was stolen by the refs.

Agreed. How about rue elbow to the face that was reviewed and NOTHING happened?

Same. I try not to do that. Those calls were awful though

[Bobman1 2,909]

Well it does feel like we kind of got shafted out of a victory. Either way, love the fight from the Hoosiers on the road against a good Illinois team. I don’t think many expected it to be this close and am excited to whoop the Gophers and Badgers back at home. But man this stings a little.

At some point, Archie and the boys have to win these close road games.  Just knew they wouldn’t.  No moral victories anymore.  Wins and losses for me and that’s it.

If we played 5-6 other road games like we did today, we probably get a couple of them and we still aren't on pins and needles concerning the tourney. Instead we had a minimum 10-12 minute 'screw this' period about every road game that didn't even give ourselves a punch in the fight.

[chicagoHOOSIER 1,051]

Played hard.  I am disappointed in the loss.  Also sorry that this late in the season the fact that IU played hard today is a moral victory.

Who threw the elbow at Rob?  I missed it.

Oh, it's there. We had the Journey tribute band at the Shrine in Terre Haute last night, and had both TV's on college basketball in our room, serving mixed drinks, and the calls were HORRIBLE as well!

[Bowhunter 2,693]

Refs got us. Should have been technical foul on Illinois earlier. Al also was fouled on 3 in last couple minutes. Team fought hard. Sucks to lose this one

Can’t wait for the formula to have us in the 60s in NET tomorrow

B1G officials are the absolute worst. Not just for IU but for every road team. Like I said almost unwatchable
