**Official Iowa @ Michigan Game Thread Thursday 8:00 PM BTN**

[coff]

Fucking Fran. The guy has completely changed everything by moving JBo to PG inserting Perkins and getting away from the line changes. Good to see Kris playing the important minutes at the end. This is really setting up nicely.

Perkins has certainly done his share by really upping his game.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

@Bonner, get the Illinois thread going, but use the correct Network this time (a one-time Mulligan given). I turned to BTN last night, was the WBTT, and had to search it down in the guide at the last minute.

It was fun when Dickinson was forced to guard a Murray away from the hoop.

Likewise when he tried to guard JBo 25 feet from the hoop.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Murray scoring 23 points while taking just nine shots is something you don't see very often.

not since 3bag closed anyways

 

[coff]

A dozen generations? No way.

Yes, that amount should change your family tree forever. Living off of 4% would allow it to continue to grow. After a generation, that $18 million would probably be somewhere between $35-50 million.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Maybe I am wrong but Fran's COVID absence seemed to be the main catalyst for lineup changes/tightening.

That certainly seemed to me to the be game that they really increased their defensive intensity.

I would often go 10-10 banking it off the wall. God damn I miss that place.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Whose crying? You and the bngs of the world are the ones who went crying to Buffet with your little tails between your legs because you can't hang in an open forum.

Lol. YOU’D NEVER DO THAT!!

I had nothing to do with it other than mocking you babies after the fact.

Sure you didn't. No wonder you hang out in a leftist echo chamber where you never have to fend for yourself.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Seems coincidental. I assume they were making the switch regardless.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Talking shit on a message board is not fending for yourself.

Uhhhhh…. welcome to the new world, bitch!

 

[ivan_drago]

I actually heard Fran didn’t have COVID, Coff sent him a PM to let him know he was “on notice,” so he took a day off to consult his legal team.

I heard Buffett banned Fran from practice.

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

We faced two future NBA first round draft pick bigs tonight, and Fran just threw a couple small forwards and an undersized muscleless Euro at them and we straight up pwned them.

Let's all appreciate times like these.

It's times like these time and time again.

Anyone that thinks the JBo play should have been a charge can go fuck themselves. Brooks got set right as bohannon was leaving the ground. It wasn’t a charge and in no circumstance should it ever be a charge. The way college refs officiate the block/charge is infuriating.

Yeah, I don’t understand what an offensive player is supposed to do in that situation. He has a clear lane to the basket and someone flies in and basically slides under the player. Momentum alone is going to cause a collision. Only way to solve it is increase the size of the no charge zone.

Which leads to my biggest complaint with officiating, you don’t have to call something every time either an offensive or defensive player falls down. Sometimes guys just trip over themselves.

 

[Bonner]

My bad, bro!

College officials have proven that they are incapable of correctly officiating the block/charge. Look at this ridiculous call from the LSU game the other night.



I would rather get rid of the charge completely than have officials continue to make calls like this. It’s a joke.

Most people think "rich" and they think like buying billion dollar yachts.

 

[KitKatApples]

Well that’s what I want damn it

 

[Stomper15]

KenPom has 40% confidence in the matchup Sunday. It's essentially a pickem with Illinois winning by 1. 78-77

Go fuck yourself. Pretty clear from the post you quoted.

unlike most of the mainstream and social media, I live in an America where 3 people can all be correct.

Yes getting rid of the block/charge is definitely an option.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Every coach and player understands it’s the hardest call to make and for the most part acts accordingly.

for the the most part.

 

[6deuce]

Game is on right now BTN in 60 and Ulis air balled a 3 and the shot clock reset. Bad miss by the refs there.

Refs were avg at best, missed that and a couple other things. Called too much ticky tack stuff, imo.

 

[Jim Tebow]

I thought rebecca got fouled pretty obviously on his dunk attempt. The murrays both got fouled on at least one of their takes, probly more. Keegan gets fouled so much i think refs start swallowing their whistles to try and even things out.

Had zero issue with the bohannon charge, was borderline but lets face it bohannon is the poster child slow white dood at this point and isnt going to get that call, and he KNOWS hes not going to get that call.

Thought it was more or less evenly called. Iowa got a couple weak calls their way too.

Lots of garbage calls and no calls both ways.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

It’s tough reffing a big strong dude like Big Dick fairly but I’d think it would be easy to stop his running screens out top where he never gets set if you just call it once.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

The entire game is hard to call consistently. Not just the block/charge.

 

[Monster]

It was a charge

Yeah it absolutely was. I don't know what the fuck these guys are looking at. The defender didn't slide under him when JBo was already in the air.

 

[Monster]

Someone find a video so we can watch and then argue for a few more pages.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

One of my favorite charge calls.

 

[KitKatApples]

Since monster decided to get all jazzed about this I’m on team no charge. Ball was through the hoop before he even got there. Total bullshit

 

[Monster]

I'll remember that.

 

[KitKatApples]

I’m planning on it

 

[Fletch]

Refs were avg at best, missed that and a couple other things. Called too much ticky tack stuff, imo.

I’d rather have them call ticky tack than to allow rape.

 

[KitKatApples]

Sound like a lawman

 

[Hawkstrat]

I’d rather have them call ticky tack than to allow rape.

The problem is that they do both.

 

[6deuce]

I’d rather have them call ticky tack than to allow rape.

They did allow rape considering there was a minute left when Michigan finally got to 7 fouls and that was because they had to start intentionally fouling.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I'll remember that.
