Illinois 87, Ohio State 75 Postgame
TSJ noticeably went right often, and that helped his flow.
Peacock had a bad game. The camera was stuck on that overhead view and then the network started malfunctioning on that last camera too before adjusting. Audio quality was average for me.
Team moved the ball. Freshmen showed tenacity.
Refs impacted the game, which is normally not good, but we need to keep our heads, especially one guy.
I’m happy with how we won.

Any info on what is going on with Guerrier? He doesn't seem to be himself lately.
Brad finally listened to me and let the young guys get some tick ... Lol ...
DGL provided some much-needed energy ... Hansberry with a nice take down the lane ...
When our older guys don't give us a bite defensively ... Hope Brad goes back to those young guys ...
Now we need tOSU to start winning, to preserve this as a Quad 1 win.

I don’t think Quincy is feeling right. I don’t remember seeing that wrap on his right calf/leg previously. At times he seemed a little gimpy…
Not hoping injury on anyone. However, I hope one of the guys you are referencing is QG. It would explain his tentativeness.
For my money, I truly loved this game. Bucks are a very skilled but overall, young, team...very dangerous and full of potential. What I liked was the skill and purpose with which the Illini played to their strengths. Efficient and balanced scoring is a beautiful thing.
Eighteen for twenty on Free Throws while committing only 6 turnovers is something I have prayed for the Illini for decades!!!!!!! That is how you win on the road against talented teams.
Only thing I did not like was CoHawk's whining technical....long overdue and I hope a lesson learned. Fortunately, no price to pay tonight for a huge mental blunder. But he did make his only three attempt, getting his "puppies" set and firing in rhythm.
Cudos to DD for a solid performance. Kid has a world of talent and super stardom in his future if the light ever goes on for defense. A personal favorite of mine and will be sorely needed at some time....like tonight.
Overall, this is a solid win for a program that has laid a bushel of eggs in Columbus over the years.
Finally, welcome back TSjr.!!!!

Am I wrong to think he is a good coach but has maybe got himself in trouble recruiting too many offensively talented guys and getting away a bit from what he did at Butler? I feel like his teams were a lot tougher at Butler and his first year or 2 at OSU.
Can't remember having an Illini PG who can do things TY does. Like take a ball in the paint and dunk or dunk a missed shot. In the offseason if he develops a 3 point shot he is very dangerous. He guards well, pass first guard, and his FTs are coming along. He is coming along well.

He’s got a new baby. Maybe some late nights. Hope it’s nothing major or prolonged.
I have a feeling it won't be a Q1 win for long.

Agree with this take. QG's defense not so great either and FT shooting poor. Luke was getting abused out there on individual D as well. Otherwise, hard to find anything not to like about this win. Sure CH had the tech but better now than when it might count more later. Love seeing Ty play and kudos to him for really improving his FT shooting- he does so many things that don't show up on the stat sheet to help them team win.
Yes ... He's the main guy we need to get right during this stretch of rest ... Fletch and Paul are on it ...
First game where I felt Amani Hansbury is going to be a stud down the road. He moves well and is very solid for a freshmen, if he can mix in the 3s will be an excellent combo with Morez.

Ty is going to be an incredible college basketball player when it is all said and done and an even better player in the NBA. His growth, his ability to focus, his motor. The fact he sat out most of the second half for the last few games before this is damning. #freeTY
This dude is a sophomore and a stud!
Not sure if it is that cavernous arena but the Buckeyes students didn't seem to rattle TSJ very much. Northwestern's students were worse and they were mild at best. I think MSU and Maryland students will be a little more raucous against TSJ but good bounce back game and the first time that he seemed a little more like himself.
Really good convincing road win that should quiet the doubters

Funny thing is I don’t think Coleman deserved one here, there’s been times I thought he has. Weird refereed game.
To be fair though, OSU always has that bad camera angle
