Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[NarrowJ]

Brendan Haywood is a fool

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Absolutely shocked that someone would go off for a career night on us. Thought it would be royal, but knew someone would

 

[Jon]

We are getting some respectable whistles. Don't see 3 offensive fouls on a home team very often. In exchange, they got Steph Curry

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

11/11 from the line.
That's how you win games.
Hope they can keep that up.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Keaton getting some fouls on them too. Confident whenever he steps up to the line.

 

[NarrowJ]

What's going on is from a metrics standpoint he's struggling on offense and struggling even more on defense.

He relies on that big sweeping crossover too much

 

[TheodoreRex]

I'll say this- OSU may have just played their best half of the season and we are up 48-42

 

[PasadenaIllini]

What's going on is from a metrics standpoint he's struggling on offense and struggling even more on defense.

He's been out there all of one minute. Not sure what you can do to prove your worth in a minute.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

What are we doing....

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

We take a time out for that D?!

 

[FloridaMan]

Good first half overall, but Tomi has to get going on both ends. And Thornton has to miss some shots. Starting to worry a bit about Andrej. Can't stay on the court.

 

[foby]

Halftime.....And MUTE.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Wonder what Brad said during the TO?
"Don't play defense, guys. Let's let them think they accomplished something going into the half."

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

The James ads are making me miss Rallyhouse

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Two. 7’s out there and we can’t block a layup… just wow.

 

[skyIdub]

50% from 3 and almost 60% overall is absolutely fire on the road in the B1G.

Make some adjustments on Bruce and we should win this by 15.

 

[Mistakenj]

Pretty bad indictment of Brad, you call a TO and they come down and get the easiest 2 points ever

 

[skyIdub]

Halftime.....And MUTE.

No no no.....Turner's voice is absolute comedy!!

 

[kyillinifan]

Can't let that happen at the end of the. Got to get Andre and Kylan going.

 

[Dee_4_Three_83]

So focused on Thornton, we let them get that last bucket. They get the ball to start halftime. 3 posession game may become 1 when we get the ball again.

 

[Coop70]

Gonna heat up some red beans and rice with a pork chop.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I feel like we might have played our best half as well. I don't foresee us continuing to shoot almost 55% from the field and over 50% from 3 and I don't foresee Thornton going for 50. Something's gotta give.

 

[Chase321]

I'm concerned about Mihailo's lack of minutes. Not sure what's going on there, but in order for us to compete with the big dogs of our conference, I feel like he and Brad need to get on the same page fairly soon.

Whose time do you want him to take?

 

[InDaAZ]

Will the dual Ivisi lineup turn into a thing?

 

[stlrunner]

He's been out there all of one minute. Not sure what you can do to prove your worth in a minute.

Maybe don’t turn the ball over in that minute.
