Illinois fans talking about Edey

[Purdue85]

Dude, stop crying about nothing. Calm down.

you've done nothing but whine. relax.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

Dude, stop crying about nothing. Calm down.

Why does Underwood keep trotting thugs out for the Illini every year?

If only this image had the final scoreboard in the background, I would buy it on a tshirt. #choochoo

LMAO...the first is incidental contact. There's no intent to go after Kofi's head. Zach turns holding the ball in the air to make a move and take a shot. The fact that his elbow is at head height is because he's 7'4" tall. I see more intent and contact when big men bully their way to the basket than I see on any of these moves...

Just proving you don't know the rules. Incidental contact does not apply to contact over the shoulders with an elbow.

It's like you guys can't read. The rulebook is available online, for free.

Na the amount of whining you are doing about this makes the phrase "illwhini" accurate. Rather funny that you miss the irony of it all.

Did Zach get called for it? No? Then not a flagrant two no matter how bad you want it to be. Learn something today. Maybe get someone to explain the rule to you since it's over your head.

Did I say flagrant 2? Flagrant 2 is contact above the shoulders WITH intent.

And, yes, that's the pinnacle of comedy and whit for someone at this level of intelligence.

The level at which you don't understand is astounding and it's fun watching you whine so much about it.

I know we make a lot of jokes about how terrible the B1G officiating is, but it seems like if such obvious, egregious violations of the rulebook (which I’m assuming the refs are at least generally familiar with) were occurring, they would have been called as such.

they're in love with the replay monitor. If there is ever any question, they stop the game and review for 5 minutes.

then they call a "blarge".

They are on their board saying Edey gives a shove with his elbow everytime. Do people not know what to expect from a 7' 4" guy when he turns? Just because their face is at that level does not mean it's an offensive foul. Yes, if he extends it, I get it, but they said they will have a camera on stand by and yell at the refs to take notice. lol

Zach wrecked their sh#% and they need to come up with reasons why.
It’s that simple.

 

[SIBoiler2]

IL fans are similar to IU fans. There's a handful that understand and appreciate basketball. The rest like to throw crap out there and hope it somehow becomes reality.

 

[Dryfly88]

I literally linked the rule to the rule book. Edey doesn't have the right to the space outside of his cylinder. His elbow is outside the cylinder of his body. Any contact to an opponent's head with an elbow is a flagrant 1. It becomes a flagrant 2 if it is deemed excessive. Learn something today.

And making stupid puns doesn't do anything other than make you look stupid. Illwhini is cheesy at best.


Literally linked the video above. It's not just a still. I don't know why I bother going to a free board.

I don't know why you come here either? When you figure it out, let us know.

THIS! It's not his fault their nose is at his elbow height. Geesh

Optometrist visit due?

Happened to Purdue at SFC. Not impossible with big ten refs.

What lengths? Spending thirty seconds looking at the rule book and stumbling upon the many videos and photos documenting it? It’s indisputable is the real issue, and that just flies in the face of what this thread and forum want.

This in no way is illegal. His arms are naturally extended. Gawd, he could not put them anywhere else. It's all Cockburns fault for being to short.

Or maybe don't. Just stop.

Good point. #choochoo
