Slippery Ball Last Night?

[MelroseHawkins]

What brand ball does Illinois use? I wonder why it was so slippery? Multiple players had it slip out of their hands. Was it Wagner that was going back to the bench like shaking his head and looking at this hands.

Anybody else notice this?

Joks had it slip out and nailed Baer in the face

Maybe it was slippery. Shooters don't tend to man handle the ball and use a light touch almost like a "hot" potato. Illinois messes with the mind due to the vast openness of the flying saucer. Couple into that Jok's back injury and likely want to get the ball with a light touch in a position where you can quickly pull the trigger and it might lead to a "slippery" ball look. Illinois tends to grab shirts and arms more than most teams. That would be my guess.

Looked like it was mysteriously only slippery when we were on offense.

Jok and balls. Hmm. Coincidence?

No crap. I mean the ball just flew straight up a couple of times from players.

I did, it seems worse at NW.

Tell that to the Illinois player who tried to dunk and the ball slipped right out.

A good Jok takes care of slippery balls.

I am here to serve.

That was actually a pass to someone else that Baer inadvertently intercepted with his head.
