Nice start. Ugh.

[Illini Zip]

Turnovers. Ugh!!!! 

[Illini Zip]

Hustle 1 and Hustle 2 are both in the game before Cotton. Can somebody please tell me which is which? Is Smith Hustle 1 and Gbadebo Hustle 2?

[clarkwgriswold]

Nice to see Virshon just watching to start.

[clarkwgriswold]

Nice 21-7 run.

[LZIp]

Duvivier's shot is on tonight!

[Let'sGoZips94]

I don't know how you can watch this team and not think we're going to be JUST fine. 

[clarkwgriswold]

Two 3 seconds calls in a college game. What's Next, calling traveling in the NBA?

[clarkwgriswold]

Cotton finally coming in.

Smith is giving a heroic effort on Moses, but I'm not sure how long he can keep it up. BSU definitely wants to get him more involved than last game.

Kostelac is soo close to being a good player, he makes great initial moves but he goes to far with it. It seems like everything from setting screens to post ups he just wants to push it a little more than he is allowed. When he learns the boundaries, it will be a night and day difference.

Agreed re: Kostelac. When he gets it figured out I think he can be a pretty good one.

Peters is having a great first half for Akron.

 Officiating crew is about as bad -- BOTH WAYS as they can be!  Fantom fouls...What was the floor violation on BSU a bit ago -- double dribble??  Crazy.  It's all about THEM!

agreed. Its a bit ridiculous.

African American zebra foul count is I think 7 on us, one on them.

[clarkwgriswold]

Ugly start and end to the first half.

[LZIp]

pretty bad last 5 mins or so of the half.

[Z.I.P.]

What the Hell just happened with 1.4 second to play.  We were inbounding...and...they stole the inbounds pass???

[Illini Zip]

Well, that got away from us fast.

It's because he is slow

Parrish fouled with 1.4 left, but who inbounded the ball?

[Akronfan111]

Worst refs thus far this season.  8-5 and Mosis can do no wrong.  Disturbing.

According to the box score, it was Cotton.
