Maybe it's the camera angle, but AG looks awkward dribbling - is that just me?

That's by far his biggest weakness, his handles are very bad for D1 basketball. He did a lot of great things with his minutes, but this offseason he has to work on his handles. Side note, Ayo needs to get it together, he is being super careless with the ball.

Okay, AYO looked pretty focused on that one
As did Trent.

That's two games in a row where he's made an amazing circus shot. At least this time it counted.
Cautiously optimistic, haven't come out of the gates great and still lead by 3 at the under 12. Such a winnable game!

I really like the emphasis on driving rather than jump shooting so far. Love to see them go back to Giorgi for some Nerf hoop action next. If that works, then look out … I expect 3's will follow

Yeah, that flip shot in last game by Trent was very cool
Make a very, very tough shot.
But, miss a free throw.

Wonder how long OSU stays in zone. I think they are tired of our driving and weren't too impressed with Giorgi's earlier near airball from the freethrow line.

Looks like zone is good decision to keep us from doing above ...

Giorgi forcing it a bit
Feliz is the only player that wants to penetrate this zone (he makes very good angles when he drives). Frazier and the other guards elect to just pass it around the arch
Offense bogging...offensive rebounds saving us so far
Zone giving us some fits

can the big 10 refs get together and determine how they want to call games? last game was no blood no foul, this game is every touch...

Disagree with Hummel.. IL not finding cracks in zone. Have been fortunate on second shot attempts. It doesn't look to me like anyone is willing to shoot a jumper until shot clock about to expire, and I don't see any effort to find someone for a short jumper near the free throw line

Have to penetrate and kick - perimeter passing won't do it.

ADLR seems more mobile lately. May be getting confidence in the knee back.
I feared OSU would keep Giorgi bottled up and they are....but hitting 3s takes care of that in a hurry. Giorgi has to do all the little things but score and we will be OK. Can't stop everything unless Illini can't hit a shot and can't rebound and they are doing both well at this point.
Getting better every game....as hoped.
Been hoping kids would figure that out for years....and Illini finally have the shooters to take advantage.

Seems like someone greased the ball...
Giorgi has to recognize the double quicker and kick out.
Ohio State is not good, we really need to win this one. How do they have 16 wins?
