WK vs illini

[Murph]

but did anyone else see..........

yet another bizarre call right at the end that benefitted the higher seeded team!!


so the sheer number of late game clock errors and bad calls are really amazing.....wonder what the hey is going on!!

I don't think this was really an upset. I think the better team won.

The one guard for W.K. was maybe the quickest guard I've seen all year.

Illinois was not a 5 seed and WKU was not a 12. When I saw this game come up on Sunday, I immediately said that is the 12-5 "upset" for sure!

Same here... I almost jumped out of seat when this game was announced last Sunday.

I don't think this was really an upset. I think the better team won.

I agree... That guard was fun to watch.

Evansville sure didn't have much trouble against the mighty Hilltoppers this year.

Gene Keady has taught Bruce Weber well....The mighty Illini have just 1 NCAA tourney win in the last 4 years.

The WKU guy inbounding the ball, and the Illini defender slaps it and it lands out of bounds. The whistle never blows and an Illinois player picks up the ball while standing out of bounds, then passes to a teammate who goes in for a shot....all the while the clock is running.

The refs finally blow the whistle....then spend several minutes conferring and looking at the replay, then restore some but not ALL the time back onto the clock and give the ball to Illinois!!!

Clearly the ball should have gone to WKU with maybe a split second run off since the ball WAS touched inbounds by the Illini defender before going out of bounds again.



Then earlier today during the Notre Dame/New Mexico game, there was an incident where the game clock was running WHILE A GUY WAS STANDING AT THE FT LINE SHOOTING FREE THROWS!!!!

T it's called being human. Those kind of mistakes shouldn't happen but they do because we are all not perfect.

Another one for the little guy!

that was one ugly game to watch from an illini standpoint. pretty much a synopsis of what was wrong with the team all year--the inability to consistently score the basketball, lack of mental toughness, the inability to defend the perimeter, and soft inside play. they missed frazier, but they would've lost even with him, i think.

that was a game that tisdale and davis should have dominated and they completely disappeared. brutal.

i credit weber for getting over 20 wins and a 5 seed, but realistically, illinois didn't belong there.

get those post players in the weight room over the summer and better luck next year.
