Despite the fact that Illinois held a 20-point lead throughout and their crowd was rocking, we still got well under the skins of their players, as evidenced by some unwarranted cheap shots. This is a scrappy, tough-minded group of kids we have...
One thing I found interesting...

- Start date
Virginia, I also liked the hard nosed attitude the NU guys showed even while absorbing a blowout. Still don't understand the thoughts behind the flagarent against Lumpkin. Wouldn't mind meeting up with these guys on a neutral floor in the BTT.
In basketball you can't be a part of a player's upper body heading to the floor before his feet. It's super dangerous. And if you're in the vicinity you've got to try to stop it even if you hate the guy or the team you're playing against.
It's the second rule of basketball.

medill obviously you can't undercut someone but in this case it appeared that Lumpkin was to the side of the basket and the Illinois player landed on top of him after the fact. What was very obvious was the shoulder and elbow used by the Illinois guy to knock Lumpkin to the floor. Illinois was doing lots of pushing and shoving after the whistle yesterday and very little of it was called.
NU was doing it's part all right! It was doing the little things which caused multiple technicals on Illinois. It's called getting under their skin.
I must have missed it on live TV. Was it clear what happened and what Lumpkin did? With the replay on screen, I DID go back and forth a couple of times, but whatever infraction was attributed to Lumpkin was seemingly not captured on that replay sequence.
I'd go back right now and look again .. but.. but ... oh yeah, that's right ... I deleted that 2 hours of pornography as soon as the game ended. I know about the parental control setting, but some things are just so disturbing that I simply cannot trust the program blocking technology

Who's on who's board right now because of a post that pointed out we got under your precious boys' skin. The crying is coming from you guys...Originally posted by all4theillini:
