Ohio St. Predictions (with game flow!)

[Dan]

A tight ball game in the 1st half has many Illini fans surprised and bewildered. UI blows it open in the 2nd with an awe-inspiring 32-3 run to put it away.

IL 83
tOSU 65

I have no charts to produce for you, but I think we are +15 at half and win by 19 or 20. I think we come out fired up for the start of the Big Ten.

And my bold predictions for our leaders:

Points: Dee
Rebounds: Auggie
Assits: Deron

[The Sprouting Divot]

I predict it will be a close game for the first 8 minutes. I also predict that the game will start as a tie.

79-59 Good guys.

Points: Luther
Rebounds: Roger
Assists: Deron

[HouseofPaign]

We'll still crack 80 IMO

Dials will be a beast as usual, and will that Fuss-Cheatum EVER graduate??? Tight first half, but the boys are back at home, and looking to make an early stamp on the first Big Ten game of the season.

16points, because Weber will feel bad showin up Matta too much in front of the Hoopeston crowd

85 ILLINI
69 OSU

Points: Deron (he is starting to feel it)
Boards: Auggie
Assist: Deron (gotta keep the Big Ten leader streak in tact!)
Weather: F'n NASTY

[Dan]

Weather: F'n NASTYNasty enough that they'll have to pull the officials out of the crowd?

Coming down the wire there, I figured that OSU would toss up some last minute threes to make my precition a little closer. I guess I need to learn to make a chart :(

I wish Weber would find more time for Warren. I know he is a little small, but he has great offensive instints, and athletci enough to keep up with a smaller forward, MUCH quicker than Nick of course. I guess this is why I am not coaching though. Sidenote the Warren Carter chant has taken the HouseOfPaign by storm, it was pretty sweet!

What are you people talking about?

[Dan]

Very strange indeed.

But it is refreshing to see that we did indeed defeat the Ohio St. university a scant 14 months ago.

i think the laws of the universe prohibit people from being fans of both Illinois and Ohio State. Thus, you may only be a fan of the Illini. Sorry. ;)

Fair enough. But if you just HAD to pick one, which would it be? That's the big question... There can only be one champion!
