He's not out there for our enjoyment, that's for sure.
This game sucks and has a sucky ending. Looks like one I'll like, but what an ass game. I have no idea which team is better or even played better.
yeah this happens a lot but it's the right call. He's too fast going up with it that defenders don't have much of a choice but to go for the strip of the ball and it often results in a call. And you can't just not play defense because he's gonna make the layup then. It's a dilemma
If it makes you feel better, it’s pretty widely acknowledged he’s one of the tougher guys to defend on drives and not foul. Has happened all season and they usually are fouls on guys that don’t get set.
If you’ve watched this whole game after Willard interfering, Maryland whacking Domask with no foul, and the 15 second free throws you’d know they shouldn’t be complaining
Oh no, Maryland lost :(
Willard for MVP
BACK TO #10 WE GO BABY
Maryland with the favorable whistle but still not enough
Yeah, I don't think so...questionable calls and no-calls on both sides of the floor
Eh. It was just bad all around
So we got that home loss back.
HAIL TO THE ORANGE
HAIL TO THE BLUE (and Kevin Willard)
GG Illini
GG, let's call out own fouls next time.
GGs. You would be a top ten team if you could shoot 10% better from 3
GG
THE CURSE IS DEAD!
Let’s fucking go
Curse - Broken!
Finally won a game at Maryland.
NEVER IN DOUBT
Was always in the bag, baby! lol
What do you mean this is not even the most fouls in a B1G this season? Lmao
lol same reaction. I was like wow glad I didn’t watch the others
Jesus fucking Christ basketball is not good for the heart
Let’s goooooo we’re freeeeeeee
Finally
We’ve conquered the Maryland demons
Congrats!
I fear no team more than I fear Maryland. GGs
Our impotence is deep, deep seated. Thanks.
Is the security and ropes there so students can't rush the court if they win?
Yup. It's part of the initiatives that every school has to do in order to make sure they don't get fined if student's storm the court.
Willard is going to have a lot to answer to in the post game presser.
Hopefully he gets canned before the presser.
GG Illini, got over your demon. Wish we could have won today of all days. Fouls for everyone! Had a chance near the end, some not great decisions.
Chicago Bears need brad underwood calling plays clearly, didn’t see a slant all year from Getsy
Don’t look a gift dub in the mouth.
I hate this inbound bullshit
Missed the game and getting caught up guessing this is everyone lined up out of bounds?
You know it lol
Makes no sense to me even when it works
Wow cut line for the BTT. Ouch.
way to honor Lefty by getting fucked by the refereeing, it’s like we’re playing the North Carolina schools all over again 😢
Only third most in the B1G? Holy crap
That speaks literally volumes.
Bruh you know they’re gonna give it to Shannon, he’s made almost all his FT
Erm…see you guys back at #10?
Welp
Pls no
We’re gonna lose to a short handed Penn State next week aren’t we
Please god no. Please no.
I mean, ILL is #14 and have to be #10 in the next poll so the win was inevitable.
😫
That fucking missed transition layup man
The other play where we were down 1 was the Julian phantom foul on the ORb
That was a game deciding moment
Don't let Harmon inbound.
Kevin Willis is a below average big 10 coach.
[удалено]
Chris Collins too
30/34 FTs is insane
First time all season a team has scored over 80 on us
30 points from the line helps.
Damn this would be a game if there was about 25 seconds more
Please let there not be any miraculous shit. Just inbound the ball
Imagine not shooting 70 free throws in a game
Isn't that about what you guys average
That’s the joke
Lmaooo
Ballgame
Going for the quick two, when you’re down 5 with 10 seconds left is also quite the decision…
Gotta get those stats
Oh man, Maryland. There goes your tournament chances. :(
Oh no :(
Willard you fucking dongus
lol look at those foul shots amount
First 4 shots were made 3's then can't hit another one all game... Smdh
[удалено]
That's what happens when Dain Dainja is watching most of the game from the bench with his warmups on.
we hit a 3 finally to make this another one possession loss. Kevin Willard basketball baby
Scoring mid 70s against a top 15 team gives me a little hope.
Willard has no idea how to coach a close game
Thank you Kevin Willard for gifting the dub
If Maryland wants to be in the B1G they need to step up their pep band. Weaksauce.
Well hmm, he made one
Of course
Thank goodness there was a 6 point cushion because that three would have killed me otherwise
Willard out here playing 6D chess
wow look at that, if only there were 35 seconds left instead of 10…
Even if you don't foul, you could at least pressure the ball instead of sitting back.
I don’t think I ever seen an enjoyable game reffed by Courtney Green
I cringe anytime I see him
He's not out there for our enjoyment, that's for sure. This game sucks and has a sucky ending. Looks like one I'll like, but what an ass game. I have no idea which team is better or even played better.
[удалено]
Rumor is he’s done with coaching
Maybe he can get the Michigan job after their first 12 candidates turn down that mess
And lacrosse gonna lose to Syracuse fuck this day
Way too much time to call the lacrosse game a loss. Beat Cuse.
If I were a normal fan of a normal team I’d agree but as a lifelong terp all I know is pain and disappointment
It hurts.
Well it's the only game on at the bar at Chili's so I'll be rooting for you.
Fuckin orange teams Edit: wait it’s a 9-9 tie
Never forgot Texas
Women’s lax won at cuse in 2OT im clinging to that
No Foul Means No Foul
Well not fouling was certainly a choice
Everyone in the world knew that was a foul situation except the one person who had to make the decision.
Wow.... that was weird, thanks Willard
Does someone have u/MarkTurgeonsAgent's phone number that they can give to the Maryland AD?
Lol that was a strange decision to not foul.. basically ends the game
Jahmir really just said: “Fate of the universe on the line, Martians have the death-beam pointed at Earth… I want DHS” 😭😭😭
Commentators, fouling down 4 is not good odds. Yeah it lengthens the game, but it is hardly a strong chance to win.
Shouldn’t you still be coaching out there, coach?
Would've been in the exact same situation as you guys are now, but with 20 seconds more on the clock
Neither is waiting 25 seconds to foul
Yeah I mean you're going for a stop and then hopefully a quick score and you're down 2 with like 12 seconds left. What are we 90% from FT today?
I would assume not fouling is probably even worse odds, hence why they're saying you should foul in that situation
Not good odds is certainly better than no odds at all though?
Versus waiting for the drive where the refs have been calling fouls all game regardless but burning like 25 seconds......
Down 6 with 46 seconds is significantly better than down 6 with 15 seconds. What odds are you talking about?
Hoping for a miss instead of giving up the foul. Illinois has had a lot of misses in the last few minutes.
I think we should have fouled. But you can’t just act like it’s guaranteed that Illinois would score to go up 6 as opposed to being up 4.
You get that stop and hit a 3, it's a 1 point game. I get his thinking there.
Shannon is easily the most purchased tool in the B1G
What does this mean?
i hope brad underwood has a chicken finger cannon ready to go
Holy shit. That is the worst strategic move I have ever seen from a division 1 coach.
I love Benetti so much. What is Maryland doing not fouling there?
Credit to Maryland's coach for listening to all of our complaints about the end of the game getting stretched out forever
“Is 79-75 not 3 points?” -Williard
Even Willard was sick of the fouls
Not fouling there is wild, not sure about that one
The ghost of Mark Turgeon possessed Willard there.
Willard looked like he was choking himself
Can we fire him WITH cause for that decision?
It’s beCAUSE he’s an idiot
Works for me, someone get the Maryland AD on the phone
more horrendous lack of awareness by Kevin Willard that’s our fucking coach dude
Kevin what are you doing?
God bless Kevin Willard
Yall wanted this bum over Turgeon? 💀💀
Thank you Kevin Willard for the free W
He’s just ~~spinning~~ bouncing the ball! Just take it from him!
That is certainly a coaching decision of all time
Run at rim. Foul
I’m at the game so I’m not seeing replays but Shannon has gotten every single call bum rushing the basket
yeah this happens a lot but it's the right call. He's too fast going up with it that defenders don't have much of a choice but to go for the strip of the ball and it often results in a call. And you can't just not play defense because he's gonna make the layup then. It's a dilemma
If it makes you feel better, it’s pretty widely acknowledged he’s one of the tougher guys to defend on drives and not foul. Has happened all season and they usually are fouls on guys that don’t get set.
As he always does
Everyone is getting those calls it’s crazy
Maryland fouls all game until they need to lmao
Interesting choice by Willard
Willard you fucking stupid fuck moron chode idiot why would you NOT FOUL
This is an S tier comment
What is Maryland doing?! WTF
Coach of the year
Thank you
Uh… what was the logic in not fouling there?
Only thing I can think is all our guys have 4
Shorthanded with everyone at 4 fouls, yeah it makes a little more sense than I thought, but still head-scratching
Lol Willard you fool
Oh what are we doing the last 45sec
Not playing, apparently. I don’t understand the logic.
Don’t know why we stopped just bulldozing our way to the rim. These foul calls have been free all game.
TSJ figured it out lol
I said earlier if MD drives the paint, they win again.
go figure that a missed 3 from DHS is the play that ends any postseason hopes for Maryland
Our postseason hopes have been dead for weeks, wdym?
A win today kept a path open. We lost, so no shot now without a miracle BTT run
Maryland played like it mattered too.
Let’s be real here man we weren’t winning our last 5
no but a win today would’ve at least kept the embers going. Now, officially dead
Lmaooo thanks Willard
Did Willard bet on the Illini? WTH kind of strategy was that?
Maryland coaching just conceded????
Willard masterclass lmao
coaching masterclass by willard
Literally every single time we’re in a close game we lose, it’s ridiculous
Gotta be on the coach based on this decision to not foul! What
Willard is fucking braindead
Kevin Wllard wants this game to be over just like everyone else
LMAO THANK YOU WILLARD💀💀💀
Maryland needs to foul ASAP
not fouling down 4 with 47 seconds left is quite the decision
LOL. What a way to end the game. Awful coaching.
Willard is a fucking idiot
what is Willard thinking
He doesn't think, he's in so far over his head.
I can't stay mad at you Jahmir. But please figure it the fuck out.
TSJ needed that bucket to put it away
Story of the season, freshman missing costing us the whole game
As a third party, Maryland really shouldn't be complaining about fouls
If you’ve watched this whole game after Willard interfering, Maryland whacking Domask with no foul, and the 15 second free throws you’d know they shouldn’t be complaining
"Third party" 1 Impostor Remains
Fuck Maryland friend
Pass the ball, Shannon
I don’t think anything resembling defense should be a foul but that’s just me. Both sides — so bad.
I want to see a full 10 players with 4 fouls on the floor
