Hoosiers missed a tech free throw against us as well. Illini a lock now

That is unbelievably bad to miss that call and then go to the flagrant the other way. ILL may as well pack it up and go home if that’s the case.
Another trip missed

Would love to see Woodson go back to TJD without Cofi in the game but he won’t.
Comical embellishment by the Illinois guy there, but Thompson is always going to get called for that with the arm push off. Can you call a foul and flop warning at the same time?
I did not see this play but I believe I have seen this happen. And it would make sense to have it happen.

These refs are absolutely terrible

Not seeing Frazier kick his leg out on that 3 is pretty oblivious! Like what else was the assigned ref looking for on the shot?
2nd half will be real interesting TJD got the auto-bench for 16 minutes and Indiana still kept it close. What type of TJD do you get in the 2nd half?
Indiana is very impressive defensively. I wonder how differently our game would have played out if they weren’t so aggressive on doubling Hunter.
I hate how much I like watching Trent Frazier play (when he’s on).
This is another game where you wonder where the TJD hype comes from. I know he’s a good player and that fouls are an issue and Kofi stuffs most guys into a locker…but TJD is invisible today.

Trent Frazier could play on my team any day.

Most big guys look bad against big guys that they can’t push around. It’s why someone like Hunter has struggled against Kofi and why TJD struggles against Hunter.

Isn’t TJD’s strength supposed to be his Speed though?
Sure but what are you gonna do? Run into him quicker? The only way to be effective against Kofi offensively is to pull him away from the basket as far as bigs go.
I’m just saying if he can’t do much against bigger guys that’s a pretty massive hole in the game of a not super strong C. Just makes my point that he’s overrated. Or miscast in the B1G I guess
Oh, I mean I’m not sure how he’s rated. I just don’t think playing poorly against the best player in the Big Ten means he sucks. His team is also very limited offensively.

This is another exhibit of what auto benching does. Sitting for 16 minutes in the 1st half and around 45 minutes of real time is a detriment to the player.
