3/19 Games Thread

[Illini2010-11]

Ohio State showing signs of life. So far the first game is the only one where the teams are separated by less than 10 points.

Two TVs. Three BigTen games. Does beer help with mastering the remotes?

There's a team in white with red numbers in all 4 games right now.

 

[UCantHideYer]

TCU tuckered out from that first half D.

 

[TheodoreRex]

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.

A lot of what I noticed was just poor decision making, playing soft, lack of execution in key moments- just didn't make many winning basketball plays IMO

Epic TCU collapse

Yes, beer fix everything.

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

Really? He was on pace for a near triple double at halftime with 5/5/4 (has 10/6/6 now with a block and 2 steals)

This TCU OSU game is precisely how Thursday madness should start.

 

[zentrails]

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.

He just wiffed on a slam dunk that would have given OSU a 3 point lead that lead directly to a fast break giving TCU a one point lead instead. Reminds me that we don't want Andrej to try to slam it tonight. LOL

Harding just got clocked... goodness.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Yes, beer fix everything.

Including grammar??

(No harm meant, all in good fun!)

 

[Scoregasm]

Harding got an elbow to the jaw and his head just bounced off the floor like Curbelo.

 

[UCantHideYer]

The Harding injury worth looking away.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Yes, beer fix everything.

I read that in Homer Simpson voice.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Tilly strikes again, just AWFUL d that led to an and one.. Goodness this guy kills them at the most important moments.

Me too.

 

[skyIdub]

Incredible shot from Thornton.

One of the greatest usages of the shot clock ever!

Oops wrong quote!

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

That's the drawn up play for OSU?

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

No undefeated first round for the B1G this year.

 

[rdk573]

Tough break for the buckeyes...

 

[From the cheap seats]

TCU just showed how to defend the final 4 seconds. They pressured full court. Not just lightly.

 

[BashCtIllini]

What a horrible final play for OSU. You're going to have your guy try to dribble full court with 4 seconds? Throw the ball down the court so you can at least try to set up a screen or something.

The Xs and Os have really slipped over the years.
