How he still has a job when every single BT fan base realizes how terrible he is just puzzles me.

Ed Hightower is a lot better than he was in the old days....on his head. That hair piece works for him.

While they should have chanted "Five and Thirteen", this was still a reminder that Illinois went 5-13 in a bad league last year. And not sure about Gordon's recruitment being the catalyst for this situation. I'm pretty sure he didn't cause Sampson to be dirty, Sampson was dirty before Gordon.

Are there any other refs who we can name besides EH? Is that the only way to become famous as a referee is to suck so bad?

Anyone catch the UW- tOSU game last night? I didn't expect a win, and it almost came out, but ugh! Still haven't dropped a game that I expected them to win, and won a few I didn't expect.

ohio st looked pretty good, put themselves in a position to win late and Krabbenhoft made huge shot.

I think it's the fact that Ed Hightower has a very distinctive look about him, he probably does more B10 games than anyone, and that he used to be considered one of the top refs in all of college basketball, but now has a big tendency to shell out for the home team.

it's so fun to crush that school
that Gordon was incredibly lame

Illinois came out so much better from the whole saga
of course, Illinois started at a higher level as well

also lame were the chants against Bruce Weber. Funny that they hate a man for not shaking Sampson's hand. Classless program all the way around at IU.

Ohio State made a lot of sloppy mistakes and made up for it by shooting out of their minds. Too many dumb turnovers though. Im just hoping they can get to at least a 5 seed for the tournament, avoiding the extra day of play. Sometimes that counts against you since you don't have an easy extra W, though.

to be fair, 5-13 is a little false

The Illini did go 3-1 in the tourney with a win over a very good Purdue team

8-14 overall is not good, but a more honest representation than 5-13.

doesn't change that the Eric Gordon taunt was incredibly lame. I would think Indiana fans would not want to relive the epic collapse that was their 07-08 season. Plus, the spot that was Eric Gordon's schollie is now used by Mike Davis for the Illini.

It's so incredibly tilting when UM just passes it around for 30 seconds then chucks up a 3 when Northwestern has shown no ability to stop Sims inside.

Is Grady hurt?

This UM-N'western game is setting basketball back a few years. This is dreadful.

+1 for Riverman's Sims take. Give him the ball every effin possession. No more Novak and Douglas chucking up 3's. Aren't white guys from Indiana supposed to be able to shoot?

Students will chant anything, most chant overrated which is the dumbest thing ever. I along with most IU fans plan to pay attention to Eric Gordon
and DJ White for that matter, for the rest of their careers. They represented IU just fine.

This is just ridiculous.

NW has been to the line about 70% of their possessions since the 10:00 mark.

gimme a ****in break. weber also walked off and didn't shake a single players hand either, big man he is.

chants against weber are so standard, the guy talked about how much iu is going to suck all offseason.

youre last sentence is what I'm gimme a ****in break at, I sort of respect your opinions here, but that **** is just dumb. classless program all teh way around. i mean seriously what a joke that sentence is.

when iu players start leaving others to die, come talk to me about classless all the way around

I can name one other Big Ten basketball official: Ted Hillary. Nothing great, but much better than Hightower.
