***Official B1G In-Season Thread***

I agree with you on the travel. From the official rules handbook, "It is traveling when a player falls to the playing court while holding the ball without maintaining a pivot foot."
Fall? Sure. I agree. Absolutely. But diving for a ball, then sliding? No. He said, "sliding". How many times have you seen a player fall---then slide?Laughing

One of the biggest misunderstood plays in all of basketball. Diving for a loose ball, then sliding, is not a travel.
 
Are you really that miffed about an off-hand statement about your team's height? Here, Illinois usually dominates teams that play small centers and that can't shoot.
No one is "miffed". It was just a bad take.....
 
Tick tock, Hawks
like its going to be a surprise if the hawks lose tonight.
they have won just once in Breslyn Center since the year Chris Street was killed, so really talking meaningless shit to hawk fans is over kill.

the last time they won was in 2016. the year they took the series.
twice in 28 years is not something to have hawk fans excited or worried about tonight game.
 
not at all, why should I be about not winning in the Breslyn Center. its just the facts.

Read this .......Now, ask yourself----What must you do, to travel????

I bet it comes to you.

Or not...
Why
Nah - it was a specific play. Player did not have control of the ball. It was a loose ball situation, player dove, got possession while sliding. Never travel in that situation.
Incorrect. I am not talking about a specific play. Just in general. Of course I realize you must establish a pivot foot prior to traveling.

I just enjoy Borden getting all puffed up about the rules. He so loves to educate all of us. It is the evolution of the rules in the K era. The Flop circle and wrestling for balls and calling a timeout to save your ass. It is walking.

Not puffed up....Just laughing at your ignorance. But no fear----I am always here to educate---And free of charge.
 
A five period ellipses? Ok, miffed Boomer.
I mean don't get mad at me because you made an uneducated statement. You were wrong. Just admit as much, and move on. You'll like yourself better in the morning..Laughing
 
Northwestern has never been competitive enough to be our Purdue
1. Which B1G program from the state of Illinois has been to the NCAA Tournament most recently?

2. Good attempt at a shot at Purdue - and it makes sense in a season when you guys deep-d*cked Purdue twice.

But don't forget that Purdue won more tournament games last season than Illinois has had tournament appearances in the past decade.

How was that a shot at Purdue? I said our in state rival was never successful enough to be a rival like PU to IU.

Oh you’re so right. NW and their one tournament appearance is comparable to Purdue. Excellent point

My bad. Assumed that was a "little brother" shot. Probably my Purdue-inspired inferiority complex kicking in.

PS: Plz make Kofi, Ayo and Frazier turn pro. TIA

My bad I guess - the original discussion was about a specific play that was not travel- it was not a fall to the floor with possession. Borden would agree that a fall to the floor with established possession is travel.
