Illinois Post Game Thread

Also the clocks on TV aren’t always the real
clocks.

Thank you.

 

[RuffRuff]

Except, you know, when he played through the remainder of the game he actually got hurt in to make sure we won

But I’m late to this thread, I’m sure you’ve gotten appropriately roasted for this nonsense

Not just this game - last year he had a tendency to drift if things weren’t going well.

And yeah - the koolaid mafia is out. Say 10 positive things and the defense mafia will zero in on the one non.

Hurley said his health was about a week out in post game.

 

[RuffRuff]

On a side note though, I might drop a couple quid to see Ruffy ask Tarris for his thoughts on the matter... In a face-to-face setting, I mean.

Her probably plug in his organ and play me a song.

 

[RuffRuff]

I don’t know why so much obsession about that call. The refs made a lot of mistakes and bad calls today. It was an awful crew and in my opinion the mistakes mostly benefited Illinois.

Also the clocks on TV aren’t always the real
clocks.

Because this place obsesses like termites on old wood at anything anti.

Got nothing from our best player and still won by double digits. Smith gets the game ball. Reibe honorable mention. Glad to see Solo getting his groove back in the first half. Mullins’ stroke is pretty.

Who is our best player? Illinois got 25 from their best player and lost

 

[KingAG]

When did Illinois take the lead from us? I just have missed it

We had a big lead. Then we did not. We gave up a big lead. Not THE lead.

They speak English in what?

And when we play at Georgetown while it would be nice to play against Abraham it should be deemed: Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

Figures you don't even get the instrument right.

Hilarious to hear you call him soft, though. Perfect.

Some fun stats:

Time tied: 0:13 (when the score was 0-0)
Time UConn led: 39:47
Time Illinois led: 0:00

H1: UConn +11
H2: UConn +2
Final: UConn +13 (spread was UConn 4.5)

It’s okay if Illinois is +7 in the last 10 minutes if UConn is +21 in the first 30. Running the clock continues to raise our heart rates and gray our hairs, but we remain undefeated using that strategy in the last 3ish years

It’s okay to win and be happy about it!

It's a pretty marked contrast to Hurley's comments on Reed post-game.

I mean Hurley is just the coach...what does he know. We should trust the random armchair intenet poster more obviously. LOL

It’s as if the end of the BYU game never happened.

He’s an imbecile. Full stop.

With "fans" like RuffRuff, who needs haters.

Austin blows.

Reed

Tarris is a softie

A baseball player would know. The greatest and toughest athletes in the world along with golfers.

First you bash Reed for not playing when hurt, then you bash him for not playing well when hurt.

Reibe is no fluke. He's a baller.

The 20 second shot clock started at 2:30, the shot by Malachi came at 2:11. The referee called it right. I replayed it several times.

I attached the same picture several other times but here it is again, contradicting what you said. The shot clock at the bottom of the screen flashed 30 before counting down from 20 (it was doing this throughout the game for god knows what reason), but there it is reset at 2:32 on the game clock.

 

[thekollieman]

If you watched the replay, you would see the shot clock reset at 2:30 and Malachi's shot came at 2:11. Therefore, the call was correct.

See my other reply to you with evidence that it was reset at 2:32 on the game clock.

 

[thekollieman]

But again, when you say it's 2:32, that was the time the ball clanged off the rim. The actual time that Reibe gained possession and the 20 second clock started was a second or two later.

The clock was reset in the picture I posted with 2:32 on the game clock. It flashed 30 before counting down from 20 throughout the game (another weird glitch in the whole situation, of course), but it’s clearly reset at 2:32 game time.

Why don’t you? It didn’t cost Illinois the game and it’s great that it worked out in our favor but it wasn’t right. You know as well as I do that if the roles were reversed the Boneyard would be rioting. It just wasn’t right.

My take is if the shot clock shows 18 seconds, that is what the players on the floor are going to rely on. It would hardly be fair to UConn to show that they have 18 seconds left and then call them for a shot clock violation
