[Dinger]

Biggest mismatch so far . . . Jake Diebler vs Jamie Dixon, LOLOLOL

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

The inferiority complex some have on this board when it comes to the Illini getting national mention (or lack thereof) is really laughable.

 

[rdk573]

Shocked how bad OSU looks. They look like they don’t belong in the tournament.

Give credit to TCU's defense..

Looks like quite a few Huskers fans made the trip to OKC.

 

[Scoregasm]

Sandfort bombing away, Troy putting up a fight thus far.

 

[CrazedUIFan]

Wow, Sandfort hitting two threes and a steal in a 10 sec span

 

[TheodoreRex]

OSU just getting outclassed. TCU far more energy, effort and enthusiasm. One team showed up to play, the other is sleep walking their way out of the tournament.

always a shock what you can get away with defensively when you leave the B1G. OSU needs to match their toughness.

 

[skyIdub]

All other things aside....."The Pryce is Right" shirts might end up the best of this tournament.

Jamie Dixon is very underrated as a coach.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Troy is so bad.

I remember rooting for them against KY.

 

[skyIdub]

This has to be the most ginger game of the tournament!

 

[ChiIllini75]

Troy trying the coverage on Pryce Illinois used in the 1st half at home...that's a bold strategy Cotton!

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Nebraska is 1/9 from 3 outside of Sandfort.

 

[Scoregasm]

Nebrasketball in full effect.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

I wonder if OSU's Tilly is sick. He doesn't look good today.

I wonder if OSU's Tilly is sick. He doesn't look good today.

I'm just not sure he's all that good period. He was absolutely AWFUL against Michigan in the Big Ten Tourney. He is highly unimpressive to me.

 

[UCantHideYer]

I believe they said OSU with only 2 FTs prior to Tilly just now. A lot of hard fouls by TCU not whistled.

 

[stlrunner]

If you enjoy basketball, maybe don't turn on the Louisville/South Florida game. Lot of ugly ballin going on there.

 

[Altuve27]

Here come the Buckeyes. This, for me, has always been the best sporting event on the calendar.

NCAA tournament reffing is so different than what we are accustomed to watching in the B10. Every game I flip on they are letting them play, lots of flow.

It's early Thursday afternoon and I'm already 100% sure the announcers were given instructions to come up with player name puns to use during the broadcasts.

We may have a team built for the tourney for once

That could be. Averages 11 pts and just under 5 boards. Although they just flashed his stats and has 10 pts. He's just had some poor defensive and rebounding efforts. Thornton with 5 points is more of an issue.

We are spoiled watching our guys.

And the physicality of the first couple of games is interesting.

Buckeyes showing life...Good game
