IUBB vs Illinois- 2/5/2022 @ 12:00 on ESPN

[Alford Bailey 12,393]

I’ll take a 2 point game at this point. TJD needs to step up big time

[RaceToTheTop 26,085]

Foul trouble at half

Illinois

Grandison 2

Goode 2

Cockburn.......0

Indiana

TJD 2

Durr 3

Stewart 2

[RaceToTheTop 26,085]

I would come out in the second half with Thompson guarding Cockburn at least initially.

[lillurk 3,762]

On the Plummer three near the end of the half where he was fouled, he caught, pump faked, clearly moved both feet: no travel called.

Easy to exaggerate but that’s probably a top 5 all-time travel no call I’ve seen, and neither Benetti nor Hummel mentioned it, either.

[RaceToTheTop 26,085]

I never knew the rule that a pass that hits the room doesn't reset the clock.

Lastly, I think Tamar brings his midrange game to the table and that’s nice

College basketball. Home to the worst officials in all of sports. Easily.

After the Cavs/Hornets call, the NBA runs away with that title.

That's literally our only option unless we want to see TJD play only 5 minutes of the 2nd half...

[Josh 12,649]

It's the simple things that make me like Woody.  When XJ had the ball in the backcourt at the end of the half, Woody told him to cross the line before taking instruction.  We saw Archie cause backcourt violations by talking to our guards in the backcourt.  I'm so happy to have a smart man as a coach again.

[Dave from Dayton 3,252]

With the way Cockburn throws his elbow and walks, IU missing shots and free throws, and TJD's fouls...we are fortunate that we are ahead.

He definitely traveled….no question

Didn't you hear that the B1G removed traveling from the rule book this season?

ALL IM GOING TO SAY TODAY….If I’m the head coach, I’m starting the 2nd half with race on Kofi. Kid worked his @$$ off on that end for positioning and that’s what it’s all about. Kofi was definitely frustrated with it

Agree. Especially with tjd as a weak side blocking threat. Having tjd guard the big has gotten him in foul trouble twice now

It's been a recurring theme.  They traveled on one made three and on two others they traveled and draw fouls on threes.

[CrossboneIU22 1,193]

I like Woodson, but if he start TJD on Cockburn to start the half, that is just flat out BAD COACHING.  He did it with TJD/Edey in the Purdue game, lets hope he learned something, but the first half suggests otherwise.

[DWB 1,098]

Race is proving my point from a few days ago. You play "prevent" defense on a scorer, and you can drastically change the game. Parker's problem is that he doesn't play defense until AFTER his man has the ball.

Galloway is a master at blowing up screens and playing prevent defense. He needs to start showing the other guys how to do it.

[CrossboneIU22 1,193]

After his 1st foul of the game, Coach should have switched him off or Cockburn and moved Rayce to him.  Or started the game with that defensive assignment.

That’s one example. The ncaa refs are hands down worse. They constantly dictate the pace of the game and are the most inconsistent in any major sport. Zero flow to an NCAA game. B1G refs may be the worst of them all. 

[lillurk 3,762]

I can’t recall IU guarding a stretch big with TJD this year and if he’s not on Cockburn he’ll be guarding one. So don’t hold your breath that Race will start the half on Kofi
