Illinois 87, Ohio State 75 Postgame

[doltmanns]

For now. I’m not sure they’re about to implode though. Think this one doesn’t remain a quad 1. Hope I’m wrong.

I personally think it should be where you catch a team. If they're good enough to be Quad 1 at the time you play them, it should go down as a Q1 regardless of what happens later.

Honestly glad Coleman got the tech out of the way in a game where it doesn't matter.

Really hoping he learns a little something from it.

I've been surprised that it hasn't happened before now, as much as he argues nearly every foul.

Dainja needed a game like this in the worst way. He has not been able to find a rhythm at all and I felt like he got into a bit of a groove with the minutes he got. He also showed that he can be effective and not hurt the team. I hope this goes a long way to get him more minutes

CoHawk will learn from the T.

QG will get some much needed rest and recovery.

TSJ, DD, AH, and DGL will have more confidence going into the rest of the B1G season.

Ty, MD, and JH showed great consistency, each in their own way.

LG is still an elite shooter but will need to improve his toughness on D after these last two games.

Lots of good things from this game film on the offensive side. I thought there was improved effort fighting through screens on the defensive side, but still some missed communication and poor execution on rotations and digs.

Coach did a good job today. The bench plays well and can make a difference, when it gets to play.

[Deep]

Needed this game and effort like this..

 

[BRucks]

A lot of disappointment and unmet expectations with Holtman at the helm. I'd imagine his days at OSU are numbered.

Hope not.

It’s not a good look and he’s got a reputation for that, for sure. He’s so good; just play.

Way better job with player rotation today. And it made a huge difference. Tired players are tired.

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

I appreciate Ty’s game and also appreciate the coaching staff‘s ability to recognize match ups decide minutes.

I missed my first game of the year and had to follow the game thread. I would have swore that we were down 15 at the halfby the comments.

 

[Bert2022]

So, so nice to see Dainja joyfully celebrating with his teammates. Really happy for him and the team.

 

[zentrails]

DD gets my game ball. Great hustle and physical presence inside. Stabilize the game after Hawkins T

TSJ Domask awesome game
Ty is solid

Oh yeah quad 1 win

Harmon was solid, too IMO

 

[altgeld88]

I like.

Besides TSJ’s complete offensive abuse of Buckeye defenders in 2H my favorites:

1. Dain’s supple, buttery, one-handed follow. That was Baryshikov-esque.

2. Seeing Quincy drive from the top of the key to the hole in like three steps. Only I then realized it wasn’t Quincy. lol. It was Amani.

3. Ty. All evening.

4. CoHawk’s tech. Love the guy but it’s about da$n time. Glad he finally paid for his histrionics. I wonder if Brad paid the officials for that. You know, Kevin Costner stylz in Bull Durham taking Tim Robbins down a peg or two. Hope CoHawk learns his lesson so that incontinence doesn’t bite us in March.

5. Harmon = dawg

Not pleased we let them shoot 50%, but fairly solid 2H from us. Gotta tighten the D. Glad we have only one game the next 11 days.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Haven’t seen it commented yet but how about those dishes by TJ on a few of his drives tonight? That’s good to see

 

[Navy_illini]

Harmon was solid, too IMO

Harmon hustles and had beings toughness

Goode also had a few hustle plays

 

[NASchamp]

Maybe order one less beer than normal next time you’re out and that will cover the cost?

Not really worried about the $5 . Just don’t like paying for a subscription when I can’t even watch the full game due to so many issues with the stream.

- 2.5. Pbbbssst! Take that Vegas!!!

I told y'all to hammer that line.

 

[Illini-Rule]

In a somewhat rare moment, I agreed with Bardo on Hawkins T. It’s been building. I was at the Indiana game and he spent quite A bit of time complaining about calls.

Did you see Brad when it happened? He said several times I told you, I told you....
