Man just 30 seconds in......Fran is hotter than Death Valley.

The goal tending was a killer. The call was right but the put back got erased. When we went empty on that trip it really hurt.

Did they blow the whistle after Joe put in the put back, or before he put in the put back?

For sure, this was one of three really bad calls in this game (the first half travel and 3 point shot to end the half and the cheap foul call on Garza). Definitely benefited Illinois.

Man just 30 seconds in......Fran is hotter than Death Valley.

Thats an ominous sign. Our multi game slides are usually precipitated by hot tempered Fran rants at the refs and others.

Fran has been in this league long enough to know thats not a good idea.

Fran should rant on himself he has mysterious rotations in key situations. Let's have JBo take a turn around 35 footer when can't throw it in an ocean right now. Yet JW has been red hot from 3. Let's have JBo in when we need dfensive stops instead of JT.

To be fair some have said the five second call was quick.

The three seconds in the lane violation may have been too.

They definitely missed traveling just before Frazier's shot clock beating three pointer. And I though Wieskamp may have been fouled on his put back as well.
