I’ve never said cheating.
Just incompetent. And yes, that call hurt Illinois in the end.
Should the clock have been stopped after Michigan used a timeout to stop it?
We were able to win in spite of the refs screwing is there.

Such overcomeThe refs wasted one of Michigan’s timeouts. Michigan overcame it. 11-0.
Such overcome
8-37-4 in the record books, 11-0 in your hearts.

Next time you have a chance to play Michigan missing multiple studs, you should take advantage of it.
Virginia is tough!At risk of breaking up this spirited debate of who the bigger loser is, just wanted to pop in to say this illinois Virginia game is fun.
Carry on
Yeah there’s some really high level defense going on in this one.Virginia is tough!
Froze my balls off watching a Greg Roman master class, big tourney resume win for the Terps.Terps up 18 with 30 seconds left, proud of the gents this weekend!!
Surprised how many UofI fans were still arguing with Hail during such a good game. I'd be glued to the TV if it was Purdue.At risk of breaking up this spirited debate of who the bigger loser is, just wanted to pop in to say this illinois Virginia game is fun.

No ball movement to end it.Epps needs to chill
They’ll figure it out. Never like to lose, but this is a really good November game for a team regardless of resultNo ball movement to end it.
Everyone trying to be the hero
Couldn’t get them out of their game. Our team is not built for slow grind it out games at this point.They’ll figure it out. Never like to lose, but this is a really good November game for a team regardless of result
Why? Definitively proved we belong in the national conversation early in the season. Evident the amount of talent up and down the roster. Losing to a top 5 defense isn’t anything to sniff at.Man, a lot of sad Illinois fans in Vegas rn.
For nowGreat game Illini fans....you'll just get better and better as the season goes on.
Nothing wrong with being the second best team in orange and blue
You guys are a rough matchup for us at the moment. This teams halfcourt offense has very little polish at the moment.Great game Illini fans....you'll just get better and better as the season goes on.

Only thing I learned is that Illinois has a very, very good chance at making a deep tourney run and there’s not a big ten team that has a better chance at it.

Really surprised Underwood didn’t make more of an attempt to try and speed you guys up.
Glad you guys are back. ACC needs someone else pushing UNC and Duke

A bit of coping in this comment, but Illinois will be a top 3 Big Ten. I think they’re going to struggle against teams with size and teams who take care of the basketball. Need more backcourt production when Shannon isn’t going nuclear.Why? Definitively proved we belong in the national conversation early in the season.

Ancient history with absolutely no relevance to this team.Nothing screams deep tourney run like Brad Underwood.
No way, I think we’re all very optimistic after this weekend. Losses happen, especially to teams as good as UVA. Also happy for them after the week they had.Man, a lot of sad Illinois fans in Vegas rn.
Of course. But that’s not what he suggested.It’s not a black and white thing, man. I’ve seen interviews where refs admit to giving “legendary coaches” the benefit of the doubt on 50/50 calls because they’re effectively awestruck. The same thing can happen at an “iconic stadium” and a team playing for a CFP spot … bias can be and often is subconscious.
Worthwhile risk imo.Baylor tried to speed Virginia up and that led to Virginia going on a big run. That’s what’s so annoying about these vintage UVA teams. You can give up an 8-0 run quick on turnovers and now you’re stuck slowing it down and playing UVA’s game but now down 8 more points.
They are going to throttle us.
Ancient history with absolutely no relevance to this team.
Our backcourt is two freshman that both showed ability in spurts. All of these new pieces are still figuring out how to play together. Minimal level of concern after beating a top 10 veteran UCLA squad and playing neck and neck with a soon to be top 10 veteran Virginia squad.A bit of coping in this comment, but Illinois will be a top 3 Big Ten.

Wonder if MD sneaks in the top 25 this week?
We may very well get cold and bow out in the round of 32 this year, but it won’t be because we are 1-dimensional on offense and defense.Nothing screams deep tourney run like Brad Underwood.
Saw that they jumped into the top 25 of KenPomWonder if MD sneaks in the top 25 this week?
