Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4468188, member: 27"] The refs were bad. Looked like they lost interest and were thinking about where they were going to have dinner most of the game. I think the game changed in part when they stopped calling Illinois for the bodying up, bumping and pushing Judah took every time he ventured into the lane. Illinois was a lot more physical than we were and we needed the refs to call a really tight game to have even a small chance to win. That didn't happen, especially in the second half and we got frustrated, lost our poise and had a lot of awful possessions. This game is another good preparation for the styles of play we will see in conference play. The kids have to toughen up and play harder. Fight through contact. Take charges if that is the only call the refs are willing to make. Whatever it takes to win. [/QUOTE]
