IU - Illinois Post Game

I cannot tell you how much I hate the B10 Tournament. Why does the B10 play this again? Oh that's right, it's so they can play an unbalanced 16 game regular season. Brilliant! Yeah, Yeah, I know it's all about the almighty TV Dollar.

Riddle me this basketball fans. If the foul under the basket occurs before the shot is attempted, should the basket count? What about if one official vehemently waves it off after calling that foul inside? Should the officials be able to review it on the monitor to see if the official called the foul inside before the shot attempt? What if the official makes the call inside, but is delayed by a split second to make the call due to being a human? Should the review only look at whether the official raised his arm before the shot went up? Or if you are going to review it, shouldn't you look at when the foul occurred inside relative to when the shot went up? But then again, when did the B10 put in instant replay for calls like this? Answer Key: NO! NO! NO! NO! YES! and NO they didn't, and in turn, that 3 point bucket for Illinois NEVER should have counted.

Now I'm just hoping that IU ends up with an 8/9 game or 7/10 game in the same bracket as UCLA, Memphis or Pittsburgh. I want nothing to do with Kansas, Georgetown or UNC as their size will kill IU.
