TSJ didn’t have much impact on either side of the ball, and it wouldn’t have hurt for Coleman to put up a couple more 3’s. I think Quincy and Ty should have been in the last 5 minutes instead of Justin and Luke.

[@bradkriener99]

The only thing I have to add is that last foul call at the top of the key. Shannon did not touch him and looked as though a kick ball? get a foul call? what is that. That changed the entire end

[@geoff7670]

That call was off the ball. Loyer got clipped while passing through the lane.

[@s2cgar]

And that was a weak call at that!

@@s2cgarcomplaints about refs when you shoot more free throws than one of the top free throw shooting attempt teams in the nation is rich. Purdue is just better live with it

@@christopherschipper2052 I can live with it, if you read my post other than the comment on the foul I soundly criticized the Illini. I didn’t complain about the refs other than I am entitled to my opinion about a weak call. I didn’t say it cost Illinois the game. Apology accepted 🎤💥

I think Edey committed 4 fouls before he was actually called for one. But, Illinois played horrible the 2nd half and didn't deserve to win. 25% from 3 on senior night is horrible.

[@Deuces22]

What was up with TSJ tonight?

[@prakashp2450]

And illinois committed 10+ fouls on him before one was called. What's your point?

[@prakashp2450]

@@josephhayden6749 maybe don't commit them? I mean underwood sent in that buffoon solely to foul him. Don't complain about fouls when you're intentionally fouling, you sound as stupid as your take

[@Deuces22]

Your team will be in trouble in the NCAA tourney again when you don't have big 10 officials!

[@ajfilly1032]

I suppose the Maui games didn’t happen then. Or the game against Arizona.

[@NeedofBeingVersed]

Hey man. I get it. Losses suck. But the refs didn’t lose this game for Illinois. Illinois is a great team. They deserve better from their fans.

[@thomaskrehm5203]

There is no such thing as big 10 officials anymore.

ROFL. Illinois lost to a historical mediocre program in Purdue.
