Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Wait, why are there never students at these games? I first noticed this devastatingly bad trend when there were literally zero students on either side at Braggin’ Rights last year even though the crowd was full.

I distinctly remember small student sections at the BTT and NCAA back around the mid-2000s. Do we seriously not help at least a moderate number of Krush members get to these events?!

Just a hunch but I'm pretty sure spring break is still going on.

Ty is NASTY on the boards

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

What is Ty's vertical?

Ty and Dain going crazy on the effort plays

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Don't like TSJ settling for long jumpers.

 

[grantlab]

Can’t help but love the effort we’re getting from Dain on both ends of the floor. Given our defensive post struggles this year, having him be more than serviceable is gonna be huge

 

[CleverHandle1]

Get Harmon out of there, if he's not going to hit a three-pointer!

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Come on Harmon, wtf was that? No possession should be wasted on that nonsense.

 

[LoveLovie]

They give you a bad shot, and you launch it to where no one is getting it? Come on

 

[Bigtex]

Like the fight. Shannon, dain and Rodgers came to play.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Bad by harmon. We do that crap at least twice a game and it not what veteran teams do. Love Dainja so far, except for the last shot.

 

[CleverHandle1]

BU did a nice job of politicking to the officials--game is eve in fouls, but most importantly the stripes seem to be calling it straight now.

 

[pruman91]

GT plays should always be reviewable..........................

 

[zentrails]

Come on Harmon, wtf was that? No possession should be wasted on that nonsense.

He almost muffed the rebound as well
Hope he's got his 3 ball going today

 

[jimbo72]

Ty mf Rodgers can grab rebounds. My goodness he gets up and snags those balls.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Rodgers can be so good if he develops a better scoring touch next season.

 

[PopChampaign]

We have to kill their hopes, we’re better than them. We don’t want this to go back and forth to the wire. It’s time for a 7-10 point cushion.

 

[Chillinini]

Surprised they took Dain out. He's giving OSU fits.

 

[LoveLovie]

Getting looks but these contested layups aren’t going down

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sure like our defensive effort.

 

[TonyClifton]

Ty would be so good if these shots go down at the rim

 

[One Man Fast Break]

We have to kill their hopes, we’re better than them. We don’t want this to go back and forth to the wire. It’s time for a 7-10 point cushion.

They're a bubble team playing for their lives and with a lot of confidence since the coaching change. Would be a mistake to think this game was gonna be easy.

 

[Illini60613]

not sure that making a joke about Shannon and "rooster" blocking is the best look by the announcer...

 

[punchabove33]

Missing too many layups
