Anyone see the IL vs NU game?

If I were an NU fan, I would be sick.

IL's only lead of the game was at the final buzzer. IL ends the game on a 17-2 run. NU up by 14 with 4:30 left in the game, and lose by 1 on a shot with 2 secs left.

Just saw it. Unbelievable! How the heck did NU lose?!

Redux of the Purdue game. The stench of that one will linger.

Illinois 2 for 12! from the stripe. FT shooting is really piss-poor in the Big Ten.

Incredible.

Perfect example of why you play to win the game, NW played not to lose.

I thought you had to be smart to go to school at Northwestern! Unbelievable, up 1, with the ball and a 6 second difference between shot clock and game clock. Illinois decides that they are going to play it out and not foul....Thompson drives to the basket and ends up losing the ball out of bounds with 14 seconds left...what were they thinking??

A heart breaking outcome for the Gophers. However, it shows the Illini can be beat on their home court.

GO GOPHERS!

Close enough to being on the home court. Aside from the student section I think there was more orange in the stands.

True, but the fact is illinois still won and wasn't truly at "home"
