Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[DeeIL89]

Come on KJ!

 

[Dragons89]

Boswell over the ball screen. WTH is Hamer doing!!!

 

[SuperMetroid]

Now we can’t hit a ft

 

[FoundersClub]

2 missed front ends from KJ have resulted in two OSU buckets.

 

[WyattEarp]

I’m in the camp of we’re playing well today. It’s just whatever OSU throws up seems to be falling.

I’m in the camp of we’re playing so-so to decent today. Not Great. Not Terrible.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Boswell checks in. Gives up a layup and chucks a 3 lol

 

[Doogie94]

2 missed layups by boswell and white plus 2 KJ misses on the front end of the bonus. That could be the difference.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Morez grown man ish!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Oh My Morez

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

KJ has been the bigger issue.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

MOREZ!!!! HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE

 

[OneTime3]

It's amazing this game is as close as it is with as many opportunities we've pissed away and how good OSU is playing.

Bless MJ, this is disgusting.

 

[ejam21]

why are we letting thornton do that same off screen wide open shot every time?

 

[azillini1]

0 for 5 from 3 and 3 for 6 from the line.

Without Morez (14 boards) and DGL, we would be down at least 15 points.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Boswell cannot guard Thornton. Again, they just abuse us in pick and roll.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

They understand how to use screens on offensive and we don't. Big difference in coaching.

 

[ginabackes00]

Lawdy Rez!

 

[FoundersClub]

Where’s DGL?

 

[walzon]

OMG JK NO MORE STEP BACK 3S

 

[OneTime3]

This is a gut check game.

 

[PopChampaign]

Morez!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

you are kidding me, Thornton, wow... Just nothing you can do, he's shooting out of his mind tonight

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Can someone help explain to me what our strategy is on the pick n roll. My 2nd graders team handles it better

 

[ginabackes00]

Why go over the screen so far away from the basket?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

KJ leaves 4 points at the line.... every piece of garbage they throw up falls in... can't win like this, just can't. Painful to watch.
