Korie’s momentary meltdown in the second half? No.
Green’s ticky-tack bailout foul? No.
The dubious continuation call? No.
Korie switching onto McCamey at the end instead of Morgan? No.
Not enough minutes to Kebler? Maybe.

But really, I wish MSU could have gotten a much better look at the end. That Summers shot was rushed and heavily contested – the sort of thing you take in desperation at the last second. Maybe it’ll look better tomorrow but live and on the reply it looked awful. That’s the number one thing (outside of having Lucas, of course) I wish could have gone differently.

And the other Illinois games the last two years was McCamey. He finally went off on us.

That helped keep things close, but it would have been nice to have one more at the end to set up a play.
The calls down the stretch went against us, which isn’t shocking on the road, and that made it a pretty challenging hill to climb.

Eamonn Brennan has a good take on the game.

This was their first win over a team other than PSU, Iowa, or Indiana. They lost to us, NW and Purdue. They will not be in it at the end. Unfortunately they peaked against us. And even then, with Lucas we get them. Ugh.

Lots to be proud of. We were nearly blown out three times and fought like hell. Some will say the refs had no effect, but there were three atrocious calls in the last 2 minutes that all went their way. The Morgan held ball call was bad beyond belief, one of the worst calls of the season I have seen anywhere. Dmitri hit his shots. As great as DayDay was on the glass and on offense, he was awful against Davis. Dude had open jump shot practice.

is up.

I would probably cut off my left pinky toe for that velour jumpsuit.
