Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[WyattEarp]

Team still needs to learn how to . . .

If I’m Liu King…I’m probably going with the
fireball or the flying kick. Lol

 

[Dragons89]

Just throw it at the rim and it goes in.

 

[Coop70]

It appears we can score at will in the paint, but don't like making the effort.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I think Shannon by all accounts is a real good guy and very likable human being.

BUT Too much much with extra relish
sometimes IMO…Coleman too.
Sometimes ya gotta just make the old man play.

Hawk's drive, stop, and fake was the perfect time to use the fake. The bummer is when he's open for a three and does the head fake to no one for no reason.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Hawkins went under the screen...gave up the 8 footer.

 

[CDRUSN]

Can't recall a game recently where the opponent got so many of their buckets off lucky rim bounces.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

We have to be scoring less than 10% of our possessions coming out of timeouts...it's infuriating

 

[FloridaMan]

We just hate holding a double digit lead for some reason

 

[NarrowJ]

Can't recall a game recently where the opponent got so many of their buckets off lucky rim bounces.

Even their last 3 or 4 free throws have hit the rim and rolled in.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That’s about the fourth shot that had no business going in that they have made.

It's been way more than 4... Their shooting has been ridiculously good considering how terrible their shot quality has been

 

[hiberto]

FTs 13 of 15 so far. I'll take it

 

[NarrowJ]

FTs 13 of 15 so far. I'll take it

We haven't shot one in a LONG time.

EDIT: Over 10 minutes since last FT attempt.

 

[New Creation]

Key and DD bother with 4 fouls

 

[New Creation]

Look who isn’t shooting free throws

FTs 13 of 15 so far. I'll take it

 

[azillini1]

Crowd is quite again.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Not sure if Mayer is still not feeling under the weather.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

I wish RJ would just explode to the basket I don’t even care if he gets a charge

 

[FloridaMan]

Hilarious

 

[aaeismacgychel]

HEADY PLAY BY EPPS!!!!

 

[New Creation]

 

[grantlab]

Happy Brad!! Loving the effort from CoHawk

 

[aaeismacgychel]

He travelled twice on that play, lol... Ball don't lie on the miss

 

[InDaAZ]

We’ve just evened out the offensive rebounding stat.

Followed by: Epps magic

 

[NarrowJ]

How about that play from your FRESHMAN?

 

[WyattEarp]

Hawk's drive, stop, and fake was the perfect time to use the fake. The bummer is when he's open for a three and does the head fake to no one for no reason.

Yep. Lol. I don’t get it. He doesn’t use it underneath…it’s weird.

Likewise I’m not sure that he gets that a perimeter fake is generally best done
after ya drain a couple…also weird.
